Libby Clears Bush and Cheney?

Sphere: Related Content

I Lewis "Scooter" Libby filed some interesting documents last night:

April 13 (Bloomberg) -- A former top administration official said President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney authorized him to discuss with reporters intelligence on Iraq's weapons program and didn't authorize leaking a CIA agent's name.

Former Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis ``Scooter'' Libby, in documents filed late last night in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said Bush and Cheney only authorized him to disclose once-classified details from a National Intelligence Estimate paper that they believed supported the president's claims that Iraq was attempting to buy nuclear material in Niger.

Prosecutor Fitzgerald (are the Dems erecting that statue of him yet?) isn't coming clean with he documents he's supoosed to:

Fitzgerald contends that Libby isn't entitled to unlimited access to government files unless he can establish a direct connection to allegations included in the indictments filed against him.

Libby's attorneys said the government has gathered more than 200,000 pages of documents and turned over about 14,000 pages of classified and unclassified records - ``less than 10 percent of the government's file.''

It seems that Fitzgerald's case continues to unravel.
