MSNBC 'Breaking News': CHENEY "deeply involved" in CIA leak case!!

MSNBC reports the special prosecutor in Valerie Plame case says Vice President Dick Cheney was "deeply involved" in the CIA leak about Plame.
NBC's David Schuster says prosecutors believe "Cheney wrote out what (aid Scooter) Libby should say in a conversation with New York Times reporter Matt Cooper."
In that conversation between Libby, who was Cheney's chief of staff, and Cooper, Libby reportedly brought up Plame's name.

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald used his opening statement in the CIA leak trial Tuesday to describe a tumultuous week early in the Iraq war, when he said the White House was "under direct attack" and pushed back against criticism by former ambassador Joseph Wilson, Plame's husband.
Fitzgerald said Cheney told Libby, in 2003 that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA and Libby spread that information to reporters. When that information got out, it triggered a federal investigation.
"But when the FBI and grand jury asked about what the defendant did," Fitzgerald said, "he made up a story."

I. Lewis Libby is charged with perjury and obstruction. He told investigators he was surprised to learn Wilson's wife's identity from NBC News reporter Tim Russert, not from the vice president. But Fitzgerald told jurors that was clearly a lie because Libby had already been discussing the matter inside and outside of the White House.
