How Dick Cheney's Top Aide 'Scooter' Libby Misled Federal Prosecutors in the CIA Leak Case

by Democracy Now (reposted)
As speculation grows that Libby and Karl Rove could be indicted, we speak with Waas on his new expose that Libby never told prosecutors that in June 2003 he spoke with New York Times reporter Judith Miller about CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a critic of the Iraq war. Miller will testify once again today about their conversations.
New York Times reporter Judith Miller will testify again today before a grand jury. Her testimony is expected to center on conversations she had in June 2003 with Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Investigative journalist Murray Waas revealed late yesterday in the National Journal that Libby failed to tell the grand jury that he spoke to Miller about Valerie Plame and her husband Ambassador Joseph Wilson in June 2003 – weeks before Plame’s name first appeared in the press. Speculation is growing in Washington that Libby and President Bush’s top advisor Karl Rove could soon be indicted – possibly on conspiracy charges.

* Murray Waas, investigative journalist who writes for a number of publications. Among them, American Prospect magazine and Salon.com. He has broken a number of stories on the saga of the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. He maintains a blog at WhateverAlready.blogspot.com. His latest story is: "Libby Did Not Tell Grand Jury About Key Conversation."
