Source: Cheney Isn't Woodward's Source
AP ^ | 17 November 05 | JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer

Posted on 11/17/2005 7:14:09 PM PST by Doofer

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.

Woodward did not talk with the vice president that day...

Woodward ... did not provide the information that's been reported in Woodward's notes ...

Woodward ... has not had any conversations over the past several weeks about any release for allowing Woodward to testify...

Is that clearer now?

This is an example of a mountain made out of a molehill and now conservatives are trying to figure something out that needs no figuring out.

It is also a case of an inept, uncaring prosecutor, who was going to indict someone from the Bush administration, whether he had a case or not.

So a red herring is the source? The plot thinnens.

Exactly.

Two years and Fitzy's team if "crack investigators", choose the last minute of the eleventh hour to interview the Wilsons' neighbors??????????????????????????????????

FR know more about this case, than Fitzy and his entire team and none of us know any of the SECRET testimonies from anyone. That's how rotten Fitzy is!
