Joseph Wilson Redeemed by Lies About the Law?

Constitutionally, the authority to declare documents "classified" resides with the president. So, under the terms of an executive order first drafted in 1982, he can declassify a document merely by declaring it unclassified...The language of the executive order reads as follows: "Information shall be declassified or downgraded by the official who authorized the original classification, if that official is still serving in the same position . . . [or] a supervisory official." In the executive branch, the president is the ultimate "supervisory official."....Dubya Can't Leak, John Podhoretz, The NY Post, 4/7/2006

One thing you can depend upon with Democrats: they won't accept the truth for an answer. If they manage to take back Congress in 2006, expect impeachment charges to be brought on the wholly unlawful foundation that the President should be brought down because he leaked information as he was constitutionally entitled to do. Screaming matters in politics; you only have to look at a monkey cage to see this. The loudest monkey who's also willing to use his teeth gets mounting privileges.

Podhoretz does an enormous service to the public by keeping this story alive. The short memory of a lot of us Americans is a favorite tool of liars and deceivers, of which there are an astonishing number on the left side of the aisle, whether the ones reporting a new "gospel" of Judas or the ones reporting impeachable offenses by the President of the United States.
