Copies of handwritten notes by Vice President Dick Cheney, introduced at trial by defense attorneys for former White House staffer I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, would appear to implicate George W. Bush in the Plame CIA Leak case.

Bush has long maintained that he was unaware of attacks by any member of his administration against [former ambassador Joseph] Wilson. The ex-envoy's stinging rebukes of the administration's use of pre-war Iraq intelligence led Libby and other White House officials to leak Wilson's wife's covert CIA status to reporters in July 2003 in an act of retaliation.

But Cheney's notes, which were introduced into evidence Tuesday during Libby's perjury and obstruction-of-justice trial, call into question the truthfulness of President Bush's vehement denials about his prior knowledge of the attacks against Wilson. The revelation that Bush may have known all along that there was an effort by members of his office to discredit the former ambassador begs the question: Was the president also aware that senior members of his administration compromised Valerie Plame's undercover role with the CIA?


Uh Oh!

WellArmitage has publicly disclosed he was the source of the leak also Fitzgerald has said that Plame wasn't covert so there was no crime in exposing ehr to begin with. Libby is being prosecuted for lying to the FBI.

What should be investigated is the relationship between Mary McCarthy and the Wilson's, and how Joe got the job to do a political hit on the administration. Do a search on the McCarthy/Wilosn campaign contributations and Links to the prior administration.

What?

when the justice department gets a call to investigate campaign contributions, maybe you have a case. But this is about treason. The fact that Joe Wilson was right tells you all you need to know about this case. Armetage is a patsy...and a very bad one. Do you believe everything Sean Hannity tells you?

Speaking of Sandy, if he really had something that was of national security importance do you think they would ignore it?? I think he had something that was very embarassing to this adm. and they chose a wrist slap instead of a major scandal.

didn't Curious George promise to fire anyone found to be involved in the leak? perhaps he'll fire himself and relieve the country of his rash immediately...

I for one am glad that Fitzgerald hasn't given up. This Bullying by the executive branch is the smoking gun about Iraq, Downing street and the aftermath of 9-11.

It was shortsighted and stupid for Bush, Cheney, Rove, Libby et all to out the name of a CIA op. to basically invade a free country and take their oil.

The thing I think is the most interesting aspect about this trial, and Plame in general, is what her covert company's (Brewster Jennings) job was.

To monitor nuclear proliferation in the middle east and Iran.

Should Wilson be indicted for revealing Plame was working for CIA when he identified her as CIA when he created their Who's Who entry?

Fact is she was an analyst at CIA not covert. from Fitz's press conf on the Libby indictment:

you just picked a cherry!

tastes so sweet.

Fitzgerald is being about as vague as you can be in the quote you presented. I can make a case that he is saying that she IS a covert agent by using the same quote.

PF13,

I think you really need to understand one thing. The CIA refered this case to the Justice department. THATS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. They felt that criminal action had taken place. When Fitzgerald started to investigate it, people started lying. Thats tells you one thing.

if you can't figure out what that one thing is....you REALLY need to get off the FOX for your info, and understand that its actually a comedy channel.

Don't hate the player.
