Source: Cheney Isn't Woodward's Source

Vice President Dick Cheney is not the unidentified source who told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward about the CIA status of the wife of Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson, a person familiar with the investigation said Thursday.

Woodward did not talk with the vice president that day, did not provide the information that's been reported in Woodward's notes and has not had any conversations over the past several weeks about any release for allowing Woodward to testify, said the person, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Woodward gave a sworn deposition in the CIA leak investigation on Monday, testifying that a senior administration official told him in mid-June 2003 that Plame worked as a CIA analyst on weapons of mass destruction.

Plame's identity was revealed in July 2003 by columnist Robert Novak, eight days after her husband, a former U.S. ambassador, accused the Bush administration of twisting prewar intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi threat.

The Woodward revelations renewed attention to an investigation into who was responsible for leaking Plame's name, an inquiry that had appeared to be winding down after last month's indictment of Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

It is NOT Cheney, it is NOT President Bush, it is NOT Rove, and it is NOT Libby! This is what Bob Woodward has PUBLICLY said. He also said that that person is NO LONGER working in the government.

Thanks. It's not too bad -- more annoying than anything else. I sat out the last two games, but I'm going to try to play Sunday night. We'll see how it feels by then.

Don't let me get you down. LOL.

[Phsstpok]

Either Cheney or Bush. Otherwise, we'd know.

Yeah, right. Woodward and the WAPO would keep confidential what they have built up as a criminal act if they could credibly pin it on Bush or Cheney.

If you believe that I have this bridge I wanna sell you...

[Victoria Delsoul]

I know you'll be OK, but we're friends, so I get concerned when something out of the ordinary happens to you.

[Alberta's Child]

That's so kind of you -- thanks so much.

It seems that you do not want to stay long on FreeRepublic.

[jveritas]

You joined three days ago and you are spreading lies and rumors. Your time will not be long on FreeRepublic if you keep it this way.

[AZRepublican]

Hey buddy, I was a Freeper long before you even learned of the word!

[jveritas]

What happened? were you banned before and you joined under another name?

She was not an operative so there was nothing to out. Half of DC and all of the press knew who they were. This is a cover-up of the fact that she was at war with the WH and is using her husband as her weapon.
