Dark times for the Dark Lord?

Reuters reports: CIA leak case court filing focuses on Cheney by Kevin Drawbaugh 05/14/06. He writes:

The U.S. prosecutor in the CIA leak case has told a court he plans to use as evidence a newspaper article with notes that he says were hand-written by Vice President Dick Cheney referring to Valerie Plame shortly before she was exposed as a CIA operative.

The notes show Cheney and his former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, were "acutely focused" on the July 6, 2003, article written by Plame's husband, Bush administration critic and former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson, said Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald in the pre-trial filing made on Friday.

A Cheney spokeswoman said the matter is a court proceeding and referred a request for comment to Fitzgerald's office.

Fitzgerald said the notes show that Cheney and Libby were focused on Wilson and "on the assertions made in his article, and on responding to those assertions."
It's only one crime among many for Dick Cheney. But the Plame leak issue isn't going away. Nor are the deliberated deceptions involved in the lead-up to the war in Iraq. Nor the leak of signals intelligence to Iran. Nor... but the list goes on and on.
