The Washington Post is reporting that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to the Vice President, may have tried to mask Cheney's role in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame.
The report: ". . . suggests an attempt to obscure Cheney's role, and possibly his legal culpability. The vice president is shown by the indictment to be aware of and interested in Plame and her CIA status long before her cover was blown. Even some White House aides privately wonder whether Libby was seeking to protect Cheney from political embarrassment. One of them noted with resignation, "Obviously, the indictment speaks for itself."
It's time for this White House to come clean. Was Cheney involved? Did Rove take part in leaking Valerie Plame's name to reporters? The American people deserve to know the truth.
