Fitzgerald Targets Cheney in Libby Tapes

Almost immediately after that, however, Fitzgerald steered the discussion toward Cheney and how his office responded to the growing criticism from former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who claimed to have led a fact-finding mission that refuted some prewar intelligence on Iraq.

Libby said Cheney mentioned in an offhand way in June of 2003 that Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, worked for the CIA. Fitzgerald asked whether Cheney was upset by the apparent ``nepotism'' in the fact Plame may have arranged the trip. Libby said he did not recall.

Fitzgerald also asked whether Cheney expected Libby to share that with reporters, specifically Walter Pincus of the Washington Post. Libby said he did not.
Fitzgerald asked four times and in four different ways whether Libby could be absolutely sure he did not disclose the information to Pincus. Pincus never revealed Plame's identity.

``The vice president obviously thought it was important enough to share with you or interesting enough to color the background, correct?'' Fitzgerald said.

``Yes,'' Libby replied.

1. Should I start playing 'taps' yet for Dick Cheney?

2. Can't Cheney get some kind of deferment for his treason?

I mean, he got 5 military deferments so he would not have to serve the USA in any way during Vietnam.

According to his official chickenhawk excuse, he "had other priorities." Making Massive War Profits, apparently.

So should Cheney not now be entitled to yet another deferment for his treason
against the United States of America?

I am sure Rush "Anal Cyst" Limbaugh and Bill "I've seen combat, sort of" O'Reilly would be
more than happy to testify on the necessity for Commander AWOL's Vice pResident, Cheney, to get
ANOTHER FRIKKING DEFERMENT because he is a republicon and therefore "special" --
not like ordinary Americans who actually serve their country
and act in a loyal and patriotic way.

13. I love him too!

...but that suit is not a good choice IMO! Neither the color nor the fit is flattering.

But that look in his eye says a lot. VP Dickie should be worrying.

15. How about this one?

It definitely works for him!

I'm not nuts about the gray suit. :blush:

20. Sorry, but I don't. I'm not sure what it is...

Has he lost weight? It looks too big for him. Maybe it's his posture in this photo. Maybe it needs a press. I tend to think it's the fabric. The fabric for a mans suit is very important. It should have a weight and a drape that smoothes lines and flatters the physique. A good fitting suit makes a man look better. In this case you know the man beneath the suit looks better than the suit would have you think. Just my own opinion.

16. Woot! Big Daddy.

Verah verah nice.

from the article

<snip>

``Do you recall any conversation at any time when Secretary Grossman told you that the former ambassador's wife worked at the CIA?''

``I don't recall,'' Libby said.

``You have no memory of that whatsoever?'' Fitzgerald responded.

``I'm sorry sir, I don't,'' Libby replied.

I've got a feeling that statement will return to bite someone in the ass.
