Is Cheney Source of C. I. A. Leak ?

The plot thickens. Judith Miller of The New York Times goes to jail for refusing to testify before a grand jury. This is a correct punishment. Her refusal to testify really amounts to an obstruction of justice. Matthew Cooper will now testify because of a specific release from his source-Karl Rove. Mr. Rove is the senior political advisor to Bush and Cheney. Mr. Cooper previously had a release to talk about information that he received from I. Lewis Libby, who is Cheney's chief of staff.

The whole case stems from an op-ed piece by Joe Wilson in 2004, he is husband to Valerie Plame who was exposed as a C.I.A. agent in retaliation for Wilson's piece. Mr. Wilson exposed the alledged " yellowcake " transaction in Niger in 2003 by Iraq as a fraud. This was another example of doctored intelligence in the rush to an Iraq war. It looks like Rove and Libby may know the whole story. Could the instigator be our own president of vice Dick Cheney ?
