Libby Told Grand Jury Cheney Spoke of Plame

What was it, exactly, that Cheney wanted Libby to 'get out."

The NIE, or only those parts of the NIE that backed the administrations stated beliefs?

Why was Cheney so upset about Wilson's "attack on his credibility?" If he was so upset that Wilson was falsely attacking his credibility, why didn't he just call a press conference, an get it all out himself?

It seems that Cheney picked out one portion of Wilson's OpEd, and went a little nutz on the subject. That would be that Wilson had said that he had gone to Niger because the VP had expressed an interest in nailing down the Niger/Uranium/Saddam fiction. Wilson, assumed, that the CIA would pass on his report to the VP. A normal assumption.

So Cheney whacks out because he did not personally send Joe Wilson to Niger. Now the whole thing, apparently, in Cheney's mind, becomes some strange conspiracy between Joe Wilson, his wife and all those other "leftsits in the CIA,"to make Cheney look like a fool. (Not that he hasn't done a fine job of that all by himself)

OooooK.

Why is there not a law that requires our elected officials to submit to a battery of psychological tests along with their annual physical, which we pay for.

I really do believe that Cheney has gone off the rails and someone really should do something.

Libby Told Grand Jury Cheney Spoke of Plame:

"Vice President Cheney was personally angered by a former U.S. ambassador's newspaper column attacking a key rationale for the war in Iraq and repeatedly directed I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, then his chief of staff, to 'get all the facts out' related to the critique, according to excerpts from Libby's 2004 grand jury testimony released late yesterday by Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

Libby also told the grand jury that Cheney raised as an issue that the former ambassador's wife worked at the CIA and that she allegedly played a role in sending him to investigate the Iraqi government's interest in acquiring nuclear weapons materials. That issue formed the basis of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's published critique."
