...your article on the final days of the Bush White House: I was dismayed by the incomplete retelling of the Scooter Libby-Valerie Plame investigation. A major reason Dick Cheney pushed for the pardon was that he was not the original leaker. That person, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, was not even mentioned in your article. No underlying national-security crime was committed by the accidental leak of Plame's name (as demonstrated by the lack of charges), and as such, Libby's perjury was ancillary to the investigation.

Fuld ignored them. So while the bank's chief loaded up on overpriced property from the 31st floor of Lehman's New York City headquarters, his bond traders were downstairs shorting shares of mortgage brokers. Lawrence G. McDonald was one of those traders, and in his rendering of Lehman's demise--nimbly told with novelist Patrick Robinson--the bond...
Former Vice President Dick Cheney and other members of the Bush Administration might have had a tense weekend. After months of delay and controversy, the Obama Administration is expected on Monday to declassify the 2004 CIA inspector general's report into the agency's interrogation program. Cheney, the most prominent of several Bush-era officials who have vociferously defended the program, faces either vindication or more vilification...
