What if Cheney dies before Libby's trial?

The Libby indictment must be putting added stress on his heart. He has gained weight in the last year and that doesn't help. What happens if there is no Dick to testify at Libby's trial?

1. I call that "doing a Casey"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Casey

"Many people feel that Casey's death was convenient, as he avoided testifying at an investigatory committee to be held just days later, the purpose of which was to look into CIA involvement in Iran Contra scandal. His brain cancer was very sudden and killed him just in time."

6. Except Cheney is the one in power to order that kind of hit.

And also the one with the most to lose. I don't think he'd order himself taken out, or commit suicide. However the stress could very easily get to his heart. So Uncle Dick dying is quite probable. But it will probably be "natural causes".

Now on the other hand, Uncle Dick might take Rove out if KKKarl was to panic and turn against his KKKeepers.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

7. Or, what if there is no Libby to implicate Dick?

If Scooter is smart, he'll cut a deal before they can get to him.

8. Cheney is too arrogant to die before the trial.

He'll wait until after it's over and it's his turn to be indicted.
