AP - Vice President Dick Cheney told the FBI he had no idea who leaked to the news media that Valerie Plame, wife of a Bush administration critic, worked for the CIA.

Didn’t Rush tell us who leaked it? And the media never thought it was important to tell the truth about this issue?
(Psssst!) (Hey,FBI guy), (ask Dick Armitage).
Excuse me! Isn’t that horse dead?
Yes and the name “Armitage” does not appear in the article. Given that Fitzgerald knew Armitage was the leak prior to the Libby trial, this was a great miscarriage of justice! And it continues.
Why is this important now?
Any FOIA requests on why Wilson was chosen for this mission and if his wife had anything to do with it?
Does ANYBODY care about this.....guess we need to distract from Obozo.
It was his wife that recommended him for the mission even though he had no experience.
At least on Fox News Special Report, when they reported on this story, they included the information that the leaker was Armitage.
Because Bigtime is cleaning the Kenyan's clock at almost every turn. His media sycophants got their marching orders to try and take Cheney down a peg or two. Rules for Radicals and all that. They are completely outmatched, though.
Why is it important now?
I posted because it was the lead Top story on Yahoo - AP. The real story is why now? I believe that the FBI transcripts were released in time to create news blurbs like this just prior to the elections of next week.
Liberals still cherish that fantasy even though it was demolished in 2006 in one of the Democrat house organs, the Washington Post:
I care. Armitage's name was conspicuously absent from almost all the MSM coverage I saw about the Plame affair, even after he was identified as the leaker. The linked article is just more of the same: innuendo-laden disinformation.
As to who knows and who doesn't know, that would make an interesting poll question. I bet that of people who had heard of Valerie Plame, less that 5% could identify Armitage as the guy who leaked her name. Most would say that Libby was responsible, then Cheney, then Rove. It was an effective propaganda campaign.
Every time Cheney speaks up, the administration instructs their minions in the media to come up with a “story”.. First it was the threat to “investigate” then it was the threat to prosecute the CIA agents and now it’s this.
They need to get a new playbook, this one doesn’t work on a real man.
Libby was found guilty because Tim Russert’s neighbor and frequent party guest who just happened to be the jury foreman, thought that Russert’s recollection of a five minute conversation made more sense than Libby’s.
Nothing more.
The fact that DC is a festering pile of felons and political cronies makes any potential jury pool as clean as the local sewer.
According to Tony Snowe (on “Fox News Sunday”) Bush feared the Left would use Libby’s pardon as a weapon to attack Republicans in the election like they did with Ford pardoning Nixon.
