Why should Cheney's office be focus of CIA leak ?
There is a story in the WashPost this morning suggesting that the Prosecutor has zeroed in on Cheney's office. But why is this? Since the WHIG group was started by Andrew Card, from the President's office, and Karl Rove was also part of that Group, and they were in full operation before the Plame case was ever born? So where should he focus really be???

<snip>
As the investigation into the leak of a CIA agent's name hurtles to an apparent conclusion, special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has zeroed in on the role of Vice President Cheney's office, according to lawyers familiar with the case and government officials. The prosecutor has assembled evidence that suggests Cheney's long-standing tensions with the CIA contributed to the unmasking of operative Valerie Plame.

In grand jury sessions, including with New York Times reporter Judith Miller, Fitzgerald has pressed witnesses on what Cheney may have known about the effort to push back against ex-diplomat and Iraq war critic Joseph C. Wilson IV, including the leak of his wife's position at the CIA, Miller and others said. But Fitzgerald has focused more on the role of Cheney's top aides, including Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, lawyers involved in the case said.

1. Short answer: It can't be
Because we all know that Chimpy and Crashcart are joined at the hip, why they even testify together! So Chimpy, who promised to fire whoever it was who leaked, hasn't fired Crashcart, ergo, Crashcart couldn't be the leaker.

There. I've run rings around you logically.

3. I think all of them were in on it.
Cheney, and all the rest of them should be under scrutiny. If memory serves, Dubya was out of the country when the leak occurred. But I don't know if that's seen as an aliby.

by outing Plame who was part of a CIA team that was getting into the heart of the Terrorist Saudi Royal Family.

Cheney and his company have been selling technology, hardware and materials for Nuclear plants and ultimately weapons to Pakistan, N Korea, Iran and Libya since 1989. he outed Plame to save his Psychopathic fat ass.

http://s93118771.onlinehome.us/DU/AMERICANJUDAS.pdf might have to try this twice..

had his own "..Nuclear Walmart.."

i believe that Mohamed ElDaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Commission just got a Nobel Peace Prize for outing this information.

this is really TOOOOOO Much..:rofl: :applause: :applause: :woohoo:
