Why Plamegate is worse than Watergate


We must not forget that the bigger issue regarding the outing of Valerie Plame is whether or not Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and and other high level government officials lied about WMD to justify the Iraq invasion and then conspired to cover up the truth. For that reason, this case is so much bigger than the Watergate scandal of the 1970's. No one died as a result of Watergate, however 2000 U.S. soldiers and 20,000+ Iraqis have died at the hands of the Bush administration. And let's not forget the tens of thousands who have been maimed and wounded.
