YOU LIE! Cheney Told FBI He Didn't Know Who Leaked Plame's Name

Cheney Told FBI He Had No Idea Who Leaked Plame Identity

“WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney told the FBI in 2004 he had no idea who leaked to the news media that Valerie Plame, wife of a Bush administration critic, worked for the CIA.

A summary of the FBI's interview with the then-vice president reflects that he had deep concern about Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador in Africa who said the administration had twisted prewar intelligence on Iraq.

At the end of Libby's trial, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said that "there is a cloud over the vice president" regarding the leaking of Plame's identity.

In the FBI interview, the vice president's memory of key events appeared hazy.

Cheney said he did not recall discussing Wilson's wife with Libby before her CIA employment was publicly revealed by conservative columnist Robert Novak on July 14, 2003. Libby's own notes produced at his trial reflect that Cheney told him about the CIA employment of Wilson's wife in mid-June 2003, a month before Plame's CIA job became public.”…cont.

4. Cheney belongs in prison
I'd like to know why he wasn't prosecuted along with Libby.

5. NOTHING happened without Cheney's knowledge
He was the undisputed Emperor of the administration. And if he DIDN'T know, a few words barked over the phone would have produced results in MINUTES.

And we know that right after Joe Wilson's Op-Ed, Wilson was THE major topic of discussion in the WH.

Cheney LIES LIKE A RUG.
