Dean: "Ultimately, the buck stops with President Bush."

[understandinglife]

"Today the American legal system did something the Bush Administration hasn't, by holding Scooter Libby accountable for his illegal actions. Many unanswered questions remain about the other key Bush advisors who participated in the administration's efforts to mislead the American people and smear its critics who have yet to be held accountable. Ultimately, the buck stops with President Bush."

Yes.

1. Justice is slow but its moving

I commend Dean for using mislead instead of lying to the American people and causing thousands and thousands of deaths. Leave that language to the likes of me.

2. You mean it's not all Bill Clinton's fault?

I thought every evil in the world since the fall of the Roman Empire can be attributed to Bill Clinton?

3. Yes it does

Accountability is something everyone should understand.

10. AP/NYTimes: Verdict Puts Focus on Cheney

Analysis: Verdict Puts Focus on Cheney
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 6:50 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Campaigning in 2000, George Bush promised he would swear on the Bible to restore honor and dignity to a sullied White House and give it ''one heck of a scrubbing.'' The conviction of I. Lewis ''Scooter'' Libby gave the White House a scrubbing -- but not the one Bush had in mind.

The case laid bare the inner workings of a presidency under siege and the secretive world of Vice President Dick Cheney.

It showed the lengths to which Cheney went in early summer 2003 to discredit administration critic Joseph Wilson. The former ambassador's assertions had cast doubt on the administration's justification for having taken the country to war in Iraq. And the Libby case showed the president assisting Cheney in the leaked attacks on Wilson.

12. Has the transcript of the trial been released?

I'm sure there is an official name for it which escapes me at the moment.
