Plamegate Touches Prez

From Raw Story: George Bush--the man who promised to punish the Plame leakers while doubting anyone would ever get to the bottom of it-- authorized the selective leaking of portions of the National Intelligence Estimate that were used in an attempt to discredit Ambassador Joe Wilson (husband of outed CIA agent Valerie Plame).

This is all according to Scooter Libby who is claiming he had high level permission to smear Wilson with the secret info. Big news because it puts Wilson on Bush's radar, and shows that Scooter won't hesitate to implicate the president to save himself from jail time.
