Dupe, i know. But let's rate this one up the Yahoo page, friends....:bounce:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff first learned about the CIA officer at the center of a leak investigation in a conversation with Cheney weeks before her identity became public in July 2003, The New York Times reported.

Notes of the conversation between Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis Libby, and Cheney on June 12, 2003, put a spotlight on Cheney's possible role in the leak and appear to run counter to Libby's testimony to a federal grand jury that he first learned about the CIA officer, Valerie Plame, from reporters.

Plame's identity was leaked to the media after her diplomat husband, Joseph Wilson, challenged the Bush administration's prewar intelligence on Iraq.

Libby's notes indicate that Cheney got his information about Plame from George Tenet, who was then the CIA director, according to the Times, which attributed its report to lawyers involved in the case.

5. Cheney received info about Plame from 'Slam dunk' Tenet

Surely Cheney would then know of Plame's spy status if he spoke to Tenet?
