Cheney's directive to McClellan re: Libby was submitted into evidence

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=2835248&page=1

<snip>

The Note From Cheney

The note from Cheney, which the defense discussed during the opening day of the trial, was submitted into evidence and reads in full:

"Has to happen today. Call out to key press. Say same thing about Scooter as Karl.

"Not going to protect one staffer and sacrifice the guy that was asked to stick his neck in the meat grinder because of the incompetence of others."

Addington, who served as counsel to the office of the vice president in 2003, contacted then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and Cheney's personal lawyer, Terry O'Donnell, about the vice president's note, which was turned over to the Justice Department in the CIA leak investigation.

1. So are the people who asked a guy to stick his neck in the meat grinder
in some sort of conspiracy?

Sure would look that way.
