More Bad News For BushCo

Bush is at 39%.

Meanwhile, Raw Story is reporting that the 2003 outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame by Dick "Shooter" Cheney and Lewis "Scooter" Libby caused significant damage to the United States' ability to monitor the Iranian nuclear program:

According to current and former intelligence officials, Plame Wilson, who worked on the clandestine side of the CIA in the Directorate of Operations as a non-official cover (NOC) officer, was part of an operation tracking distribution and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction technology to and from Iran.

Speaking under strict confidentiality, intelligence officials revealed heretofore unreported elements of Plame's work. Their accounts suggest that Plame's outing was more serious than has previously been reported and carries grave implications for U.S. national security and its ability to monitor Iran's burgeoning nuclear program.
Obviously, if Cheney ordered the leak that resulted in Plame's outing, then Cheney should resign.
