Cheney's Handwritten Notes Implicate Bush in Plame Affair
Check it out... Copies of handwritten notes by Vice President Dick Cheney, introduced at trial by defense attorneys for former White House staffer I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, would appear to implicate George W. Bush in the Plame CIA Leak case.

Bush has long maintained that he was unaware of attacks by any member of his administration against Wilson. The ex-envoy's stinging rebukes of the administration's use of pre-war Iraq intelligence led Libby and other White House officials to leak Wilson's wife's covert CIA status to reporters in July 2003 in an act of retaliation.

But Cheney's notes, which were introduced into evidence Tuesday during Libby's perjury and obstruction-of-justice trial, call into question the truthfulness of President Bush's vehement denials about his prior knowledge of the attacks against Wilson. The revelation that Bush may have known all along that there was an effort by members of his office to discredit the former ambassador begs the question: Was the president also aware that senior members of his administration compromised Valerie Plame's undercover role with the CIA?

2. Cheney would throw Bush off the bus in a minute to save his own arse.

But, he's not worried about Bushie, Jr. with all the most powerful politicos prepared to catch him.

Cheney is a WAR CRIMINAL and he intentionally committed fraud and burglarized our national treasury. He and his family should loose everything, be cast into poverty and forever banned from political participation.
