Now that we now know Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald believes that crimes were committed in an effort to cover up the White House’s involvement in the outing of an undercover CIA officer, it is time to get out the broom at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and clean house.
At its core, this case is about the Adminstration’s manipulation of intelligence to sell the war in Iraq. Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald’s continuing investigation may reveal more about the White House’s effort to cover up its missteps in the lead up to the war.
We should not have to wait for Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald’s findings for the President to take responsibility for what went on in the White House. The President has an opportunity to save his presidency by demanding the resignation of anyone involved in the leak.
In addition to Libby, we know senior Presidential aides; Deputy White House Chieg of Staff Karl Rove, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and Press Secretary Scott McClellan were either complicit in the leak and the cover up or grossly negligent in their duties. They should also resign.
