Breaking News: Valerie Plame Leaker Identified, Lewis Libby Targeted

The big bruhaha last year (and since 2003) was "who outed CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame," even though she was not outed, not undercover, and not an operative. VP Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Irving Lewis "Scooter" Libby, has been indicted for allegedly lying about when he heard her name. Of course, that is not why Special investigator Patrick Fitzgerald was allowed to investgate this faux story - he was told to find the leaker.

Apparently, according to just released court papers, he has. And it is not Libby.

Identity of Official to Be Kept From Libby

Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, charged with perjury in the CIA leak case, cannot be told the identity of another government official who is said to have told reporters about a CIA operative's identity, a federal judge ruled Friday.

At the same time, U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said Libby could have copies of notes he took during an 11-month period in 2003 and 2004 while serving as chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.

The judge also set the stage for a showdown in late April over the defense's plans to subpoena reporters and news organizations for notes and other documents in the leak of Valerie Plame's identity.

During a hearing Friday afternoon, Walton said Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald can keep secret the other government official's identity because that person has not been charged and has a right to privacy.


Wait - the person has been found, but they have not been charged? And they have "a right to privacy"?

Get this straight: someone leaked the name, but they have not been charged. Libby is charged with lying about when he heard about the name.

Got that? Liberalthink in its finest form.

(BTW, Walton is a George W. Bush appointee, which shows the mistake Bush made in putting this dick on a federal court.)
