I know it's hard to believe, but our beloved President might have actually lied about what he knew as far as the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame goes. According to his Press Secretary at the time Scott McClellan Bush knew more than he let on. At the time he said the President, Vice President, and Karl Rove had nothing to do with the leak that led to the discloure of Plame as a CIA agent. But according to McClellan's new book:
"There was one problem. It was not true," McClellan writes, according to a brief excerpt released Tuesday. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself."
Hard to imagine, isn't it?

I read about this today. The next year of campaigning should be interesting, but I'm curious what happens beginning in Feb 2009 when this administration is out of the White House.
Will there be a legal reckoning?
I don't think so. I figure that just before he leaves office Bush will pardon as many people for crimes anyone is accused of at the time and for any future crimes stemming from what happened while he was President.
