CIA Leak Court Filing Focuses on Cheney

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a new court filing, the prosecutor in the CIA leak case revealed that Vice President Dick Cheney made handwritten references to CIA officer Valerie Plame -- albeit not by name -- eight days before her identity was publicly exposed.

The new court filing is the second in little more than a month by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald mentioning Cheney as being closely focused with his then-chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, on Plame's CIA identity and on her husband, Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson.

With the two court filings, Fitzgerald has pointed to an important role for the vice president in the weeks leading up to the leaking of Plame's identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame.

In the latest court filing late Friday, Fitzgerald said he intends to introduce at Libby's trial a copy of Wilson's op-ed article in The New York Times ''bearing handwritten notations by the vice president.''

Well, on October 28, 2005, Mr Fitzgerald signaled his focus rather clearly in the Scooter indictment, .

It's ~ 150F inside the "beltway" and it's getting hotter by the hour ... for all the and their duplicitous enablers in Congress.


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.

16. I'm close to ecstasy! Is this harmonic convergence? LOL! Who gave

Cheney's notes over to Fitz as evidence? Libby? This is so delicious. Cheney and Rove; the two criminals in the universe who need most to be the recipients of the kind of 'justice' they are so fond of doling out!Each to be tortured as per their preferred style. Physical torture and humiliatiion for Cheney, and extreme psychological torture and constant lies and defaming of character for KKKRove!

20. "The White House must live in abject fear of every new Fitzgerald filing.

... The fact that Cheney’s own handwriting is all over a copy of Joe Wilson’s NYT op ed is exceptionally damning. It includes the statement "Do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? Or did his wife send him on a junket?" But Cheney already knew back in June that the CIA was saying that Wilson’s wife may have had a role in sending him, it wasn’t news to him when this article came out on July 6. These were marching orders, not a question.

Someone call Porter Goss, I think Dead Eye’s having a .

Patrick Kennedy MAY have been driving under the influence.
He did not have a sobriety test.

He did not have a sobriety test.
