Cheney is in too...

Well, the investigation moves along, and upwards. It appears that Dick Cheney told Scooter Libby about Valerie Wilson's position at the CIA and therefore, the leak originated at the top. More importantly for the prosectution of Libby, his testimony is at odds with the details of his notes of the meeting that were presented to the grand jury. Within days it will be known who is charged. It is unlikely to be Cheney, although his involvement could have been the source of recent rumors that he was planning to resign (to be replaced by Condoleeza Rice, currently Secretary of State). It will also be interesting as to whether the grand jury testimony implicated Bush in the fiasco, although his demands of extreme loyalty make that unlikely. More likely is that he was kept in the dark to provide the cover of 'plausible deniability', and, like most matters in the government, the Vice President was in charge of co-ordinating policy and the personal attacks that sustained it despite lack of fact.
