This new is a couple of days old, but … wow. I suppose this has been known/guessed at for a while now. But it’s a pretty easy step here to say that ‘senior administration officials’ have committed a crime or two here. As a matter of fact, they certainly have.The advisers were members of the National Security Council’s Principals Committee, a select group of senior officials who met frequently to advise President Bush on issues of national security policy.At the time, the Principals Committee included Vice President Cheney, former National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell, as well as CIA Director George Tenet and Attorney General John Ashcroft.
