New filing may spell trouble for Vice President's former chief of staff

RAW STORY
Published: Monday May 15, 2006


The latest report from MSNBC's David Shuster on the CIA leak investigation indicates more trouble for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney who was indicted last year for obstructing justice.

"The latest prosecution pleading says that on the day columnist Robert Novak's column first disclosed Valerie Wilson's identity, a quote "CIA official discussed in the defendant's presence the dangers posed by disclosure of the CIA affiliation of one of its employees as had occurred in the Novak column," Shuster reports. "This evidence directly contradicts the defense position that the defendant had no motive to lie. Instead, the evidence about the conversation concerning the Novak column provides a strong motive for the defendant to provide false information and testimony about his disclosures to reporters."

5. I was doing my usual "hand's free" activism yesterday...
(Speaking on my hands-free set to a friend out loud, in public, and about current political issues...)

... and I said "Our boy Rove is gonna roll over on people soon, the indictment is coming and I'm glad... anyone who compromises national security the way he did should be shot."

And woman on an escalator turned around and gave me the biggest smile and thumbs-up, then started explaning it to the woman next to her who asked what that was all about.

Do the hands-free campaign... it's easy, it's fun, and it informs.

3. It's time to discuss Brewster-Jennings again. It seems most people are
falling back - only referring to Plame, not the operation she worked for whose work investigated nuclear wmds - meaning exactly what Cheney was involved in according to reports of his search for a reason and his dealings with Khan and others in buying and selling?

It's time to be vigilant in referring to what really happened - a CIA operaton was shut down - one related to nuclear wmds.

6. Folks if you don't know the connections...
This is an outstanding primer on those involved and the damage to national security wrought.
