Plame lawyer plans to force Cheney, Rove testimony


Well, we can only hope that information from this trial is a steady drip, dip, drip, until election day.

Then, I hope the Wilson's nail the bastards for all the money they have stolen from the treasury, since they lied us into iraq..

Reuters AlertNet - Plame lawyer plans to force Cheney, Rove testimony:

LOS ANGELES, Aug 15 (Reuters) - A lawyer plans to use a legal precedent that allowed President Bill Clinton to be sued while in office to force Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove to testify in a lawsuit brought by former CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband.
California attorney Joseph Cotchett said he will ask a federal court to order Cheney, his ex-chief of staff Lewis 'Scooter' Libby and Rove to testify in depositions about their role in disclosing her classified status.

The civil lawsuit accuses them and others of conspiring to publicly identify Plame as a CIA agent to punish her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for writing in an op-ed piece that the Bush administration twisted intelligence about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the Iraq war.
