"Is Cheney out of the woods? I'd say not by a longshot. But I don't think it's because Libby is trying to sell him down the river. Cheney is perfectly capable of hanging himself - through the statements he made during his interview with prosecutors. If he denied being part of the White House Iraq Group meetings at which discussions were held as to how to respond to Wilson's public statements; if he didnt' tell investigators or Fitz that he learned of Wilson's wife's employment from the CIA at least by June 12 when he told Libby -- then Cheney is in trouble.
Fitz will take this investigation as high as it goes, including to Cheney. Hopefully, he'll get there before the 2008 elections." (link)
* "Sen. Kennedy comments on the Cheney aspect to the (plame) story:
"These charges, if true, represent a new low in the already sordid case of partisan interests being placed above national security," Kennedy said. "The vice president's vindictiveness in defending the misguided war in Iraq is obvious. If he used classified information to defend it, he should be prepared to take full responsibility."" (link)
