Pelosi Statement on Criminal Indictment of I. Lewis Libby

Washington, D.C.– House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today following the criminal indictment of Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff I. Lewis Libby:

“The criminal indictments of a top White House official mark a sad day for America and another chapter in the Republicans’ culture of corruption. At the heart of these indictments was the effort by the Bush Administration to discredit critics of its Iraq policy with reckless disregard for national security and the public trust.”

“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
