WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Prosecutors have asked former vice presidential Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to help them decipher his handwritten notes for use in an ongoing investigation stemming from the leak of a CIA agent's identity.

In the transcript, special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald said of the notes: "We can't read a substantial part of them."

Libby's handwriting "has a little bit of hieroglyphics in there, and so what we have to do is translate them so we can tell the intelligence agencies what their content is so we can figure out how sensitive it is," Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald said he will discuss with Libby's attorneys some sort of protection from penalty in case Libby makes an error in translating what the notes meant.

Well, what next? We know they're dishonest, immoral, unprincipled, ignorant, and mostly illiterate, and now ... illegible ??

FWIW, they're ugly too.:evilgrin:

2. When he was a kid...

...a ruler, held edgewise, lowered with extreme velocity onto his hand could have prevented that problem.

Or it is part of what caused this all in the first place.

3. "Oh, That Says 'I Love Puppies'"

And that one, oh, that says "'Remember to water the Aspens'".

That one is just a reminder to pick up my dry cleaning. And that one is really nothing, just a poem I wrote about how manly I think Cheney is.

5. My sentiments exactly.
