Cheney's handwritten scribbles were introduced into evidence at the trial, including one that hinted Cheney believed his own staffer, Libby, was being sacrificed.
"Not going to protect one staffer + sacrifice the guy who was asked to stick his neck in the meat-grinder because of the incompetence of others," the note read.
Cheney has consistantly supported Libby throughout and to this day without equivocation.
(the incompetence of others refers to the CIA)
Ok, well that is directly contradictory to my recollections of the headlines the day after the lawyer's opening statement. That's what we're talking about---the lawyer (Wills? Wells?) abandoned that line AFTER his opening statement, but he had, I thought, already introduced that notion into the trial. Do you have the opening statement or a link?
