Cheney In Hot Water?

Well take this for what you will, we'll see how this story pans out.

Libby: White House 'Superiors' OK'd Leaks
"A former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney told a federal grand jury that his superiors authorized him to give secret information to reporters as part of the Bush administration's defense of intelligence used to justify invading Iraq, according to court papers.

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said in documents filed last month that he plans to introduce evidence that I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, Cheney's former chief of staff, disclosed to reporters the contents of a classified National Intelligence Estimate in the summer of 2003."
That is interesting, but then there was this from one of Libby's lawyers.
"William Jeffress, Libby's lawyer, said, 'There is no truth at all' to suggestions that Libby would try to shift blame to his superiors as a defense against the charges."
I think Fitzgerald may actually have some information on all of this and we may just find out soon. Seriously I hope these bastards get held accountable. I have no doubt, unfortunately, that this administration knew, EXACTLY what they were doing, and would do anything to get back at their critics. Even jeopardize national security.
