Dont know if this is true or not as with all criminals that are facing hardtime they will snitch out every1 and there momma's to get a better deal, I still think it was dickhead cheney that told libby to leak the name...

Vice President Dick Cheney's former top aide told prosecutors that President Bush authorized a leak of sensitive intelligence information about Iraq, according to court papers filed by prosecutors in the CIA leak case.

The filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald also describes Cheney involvement in I. Lewis Libby's communications with the press.

There was no indication in the filing that either Bush or Cheney authorized Libby to disclose Valerie Plame's CIA identity. But it points to Cheney as one of the originators of the idea that Plame could be used to discredit her husband, Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson.

Before his indictment, Libby testified to the grand jury investigating the CIA leak that Cheney told him to pass on prewar intelligence on Iraq and that it was Bush who authorized the disclosure, the court papers say. According to the documents, the authorization led to the July 8, 2003, conversation between Libby and New York Times reporter Judith Miller. In that meeting, Libby made reference to the fact that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA

EG...whats up dude? I saw a little something on the news about that this morning. "According to whoever", the President and Vice President have the right to declassify information like this. There was something with Libby about disclosing the name of a C.I.A. operative though. Who fuckin' knows, politicians......just gotta love em'!:stoned:
