Scott McClellan Says Bush, Cheney Lied in Plamegate

Posted on November 20, 2007

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan has a new book out, and boy does he blast the Bush Administration over the Valerie Plame disaster. McClellan flat out states that everyone in the White House lied over the Plame matter, which is pretty shocking. McClellan says that President Bush and Dick Cheney both lied to cover up the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame.

McClellan writes in an excerpt from his new book, "There was one problem. It was not true. I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself."

This is a bombshell of a revelation that is sure to raise even more questions about the illegal outing of one of our spies during wartime.
