No American President sits above the law. Any belief that he does justifiably earns him the moral judgment of unforgivable arrogance.

This remnant delusion from the Nixon era should be relegated once again to the historical scrap heap, so that George Bush, like Nixon, can be held accountable for what he has done.

Earlier this month, Capital Hill Blue reported that witnesses told a federal jury Bush knew about the impending release to a journalist of a covert CIA operative's name, but did nothing to stop it. Nor did he report it after it happened. Releasing the name of an operative can be a federal crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. More importantly for Bush, knowing about that crime and yet not reporting it might also constitute a criminal act.

Now, if Bush knew that someone released classified information - specifically, the name of a CIA operative - and yet did not report it, our current President might soon find himself standing before the American public, saying words similar to those spoken by Richard Nixon in 1973. "People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. I'm not a crook." But as history later proved, he most certainly was.
