Outing CIA Agent Was "Official"

-- by Dave Johnson

Appeals court upholds CIA leak lawsuit dismissal s,

The court ruled Cheney and the others were acting within their official capacity when they revealed Plame's identity to reporters.

Government employees who engage in questionable acts, such as abusing prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay facility or engaging in defamatory speech, cannot be held individually liable if they are carrying out official duties, the court said.

"The conduct, then, was in the defendants' scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States," Appeals Court Chief Judge David Sentelle wrote in the opinion.

Relatively new fire.  Primitives are dancing around the fire, flapping their arms, upset that Joe and Valarie can't get away with their lies.

26. Are there any liberal or Democratic equivalents to these RW plants like Sentelle?
   Are there any judges on our side who the RW accuse of bending justice our way? I know the age old complaints from the wingers about 'activist judges' but are there really any out there who tow the liberal line and are willing to twist the law into a pretzel to do it the way guys like Sentelle and Scalia do?

30. just when you thought it couldn't get any worse
   They have found New Lows

I really miss the America I grew up in

The America I volenteered to Defend

The America proud of it's "and Justice for All"

I guess DUmmie Freakw/BO thinks like I do.  Bill Clinton should have been sent to prison.

Good for you, Freakw/BO!!  How do you feel about Pelosi's trip to Syria in March 2007?

How do you feel about "no controlling legal authority"?
