Did Cheney know who was going to Niger?
Did he even know anyone was going? It seems that he can use plausible deniability unless Libby or Rove say he knew.

Is it concievable that after the fact that he may not have even been aware of Rove and Libby's confirmation of Wilson's wife to Novak or Cooper?

It seems that even if Cheney initially knew nothing, he most certainly knew more after Valeria Plame was outed. He knew who outed her and the reasons behind it.

The fact that this has taken two years to get to this point tells me at the very least there could be obstruction of justice. Bush, too.

2. THAT IS HORRIBLE!!!
"Soon enough, Rove had drawn a bead on Wilson. The diplomat was a Democrat who had worked on national-security issues in the Clinton administration; he had donated money to Al Gore in 2000."

They neglect to mention that he also worked for George HW Bush and the current Bush administration. Also that he donated the exact same amount to Bush in 2000 as well. They are painting him with this image!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HALF TRUTHS IN THE MEDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. I know there is some stuff in there that will anger you
but I think the photo taken on page one makes it pretty clear who the conspirators are.

Rove Bartlett, Cheney and Libby having a meeting outside on the lawn shortly after it was announced rove is the leaker. Look at those faces. Cheney looks like he's about the eat the photographer, rove and libby with their backs to each other seem extremely unhappy as does WH council Dan Bartlett.

There's some good stuff in it too.

5. "...this has taken two years ..."
They can dick around and stall for 3 more, and DUH-bya's term will be over before the truth comes out.

I keep saying NOTHING is going to happen to these asswipes, but no one believes me.
