Nothing really new there. I just want to know why the President I voted for is still funding that anti-American drivel?

Cheney May be a Target Just across the wires from Bloomberg: "A special counsel is focusing on whether Vice President Dick Cheney played a role in leaking a covert CIA agent's name, according to people familiar with the probe that already threatens top White House aides Karl Rove and Lewis Libby." Our earlier roundup focused on Libby. But this report says Patrick Fitzgerald "has questioned Cheney's communications adviser Catherine Martin and former spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise and ex-White House aide Jim Wilkinson about the vice president's knowledge of the anti-Wilson campaign and his dealings on it with Libby... The information came from multiple sources, who requested anonymity because of the secrecy and political sensitivity of the investigation." A Wall Street Journal story describes Fitzgerald's investigation as broader and focused "into possible misconduct by Vice President Dick Cheney's office." It's not yet clear Cheney will be criminally charged in this case, but it is becoming certain that the dealings of the vice president's office in relation to the CIA leak will be the focus of Fitzgerald's report. What's far from clear is whether Bush will enforce his promise to fire "anyone involved" in the leak. One thing to note: In his book, former Ambassador Joe Wilson originally wrote that Libby leaked the name of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, and Cheney knew about it. politicalwire.com
