Judas, Libby and 43 Down
Three stories this week which seem to be related:
Documents newly revealed support possibility that Judas Iscariot of Bible fame may have acted 'under orders' in his betrayal of Jesus to the authorities. This brings up the question as to whether it really is a betrayal if you were asked or told to do it.
'Scooter' Libby may not be the only high-level leaker in the White House. As you recall, he has been indicted in the 'outing' of an agent of the CIA, thus undermining the national security of the United States. His boss Dick Cheney may have had a role, as well as his boss President George W Bush. So that brings us back to the question: is it treason if the President orders it?
The New York Times crossword seems to have included what some have complained as being a 'dirty word'. But the answer to 43 Down may be a reference to our 43rd President. After all, it's difficult to think of the current resident of the White House without some choice words coming to mind.
