Reax to Libby Indictment
Friday, October 28, 2005 - 02:00 PM
VP Cheney: Mr. Libby has informed me that he is resigning to fight the charges brought against him. I have accepted his decision with deep regret.
Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and talented individuals I have ever known. He has given many years of his life to public service and has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction.
In our system of government an accused person is presumed innocent until a contrary finding is made by a jury after an opportunity to answer the charges and a full airing of the facts. Mr. Libby is entitled to that opportunity.
Because this is a pending legal proceeding, in fairness to all those involved, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on the charges or on any facts relating to the proceeding.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, on the BL Show:
'the administration deliberately lied to the American people and quite likely lied to Congress in order to deceive Congress into authorizing a war. If they did that, that would amount to a criminal conspriacy and it would be among the worst crimes I can conceive of--to mislead Congress into authorizing a war.'
