Uh Oh

NY Times:
"Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, first learned about the C.I.A. officer at the heart of the leak investigation in a conversation with Mr. Cheney weeks before her identity became public in 2003, lawyers involved in the case said Monday."
I am sure that there's some serious sweating going on in the White House.

The question remains. Can Fitzgerald prove that Cheney or Libby knew that Plame was a covert agent, and if so did theydeliberatelyy intend to out her? If not obstruction of justice can be the only possible charge. Either way things are not looking good for the White House.
