Indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro (Conn.-3) today issued the following statement on the indictment of Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

"This indictment is an indication of wrongdoing, unethical and now seemingly unlawful behavior at the highest level of the Bush White House.

"The president said he would fire all involved in this attempt to silence whistleblowers about Iraq. He has not kept his word to the American people. He has an obligation to investigate the wrongdoing and fire those who have tainted their White House service.

"President Bush and Vice President Cheney need to speak to the American people and restore confidence in the integrity of this administration."
