Jason Leopold covers all the details -- or lack there of, from the release of Dick Cheney's FBI Special Prosecutor interview transcripts in the Valerie Plame leak/Scooter Libby trial in, "Cheney Could Not Recall Key Events About His Role in the Valerie Plame Leak." Here's a bit of it (via T r u t h o u t) : A month before Valerie Plame Wilson's covert status as a CIA operative was revealed in a newspaper column, Vice President Dick Cheney told his then-chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, and his press secretary, Cathie Martin, that Plame Wilson worked at the spy agency. But according to a 28-page summary of Cheney’s May 8, 2004 interview with the special prosecutor probing the leak, Cheney did not recall having that conversation. "Cheney has no recollection of Cathie Martin entering his office at some point while Scooter Libby was present and advising both of them that was employed by the CIA," states the interview summary, released late Friday by the FBI after a lengthy court battle between the Bush and Obama administrations and the government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). The "Plame-gate" affair dates back to 2003, when Valerie Plame Wilson’s husband, former US Ambassador Joseph Wilson, publicly disclosed that he had undertaken a fact-finding trip to Niger which had disproved President Bush’s claim that Iraq was seeking to buy yellowcake uranium from the African nation. As Wilson was going public with his knowledge of the Niger falsehood, Bush administration officials began leaking the fact that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA and had a hand in arranging Wilson’s trip to Niger. The leakers included Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, White House political adviser Karl Rove and Libby. read the full fascinating piece here...
