A Look Into Cheney's Possible Role

January 12, 2007

Murray Waas, of the National Journal, has written an extensive investigative article on how Cheney may have directed Scooter Libby to discredit Joe Wilson -- and also to disclose that Valerie Plame was an operative who specialized in WMDs.

(By the way, we get e-mail solicitations for contributions to pay Scooter Libby's legal expenses. It is with great irony, no doubt, someone has included this quote at the top of the solicitation: "Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and talented individuals that I have ever known, Dick Cheney." With references like that, you've got trouble.)

In his latest piece, Waas offers an exhaustively researched likely scenario of Cheney's possible role in getting Libby to leak classified information in order to strike back at Wilson.

By the way, the chairman of Libby's defense fund campaign is none other than Mel Sembler. Sembler is a big time GOP fundraiser who Bush appointed Ambassador to Italy, where he had part of the Embassy named after himself.

Sembler's background is littered with controversy, most notably a highly discredited adolescent drug rehabilitation program that was closed down for gross abuse of the young clients.

Just an FYI about who is backing Libby's defense.
