Libby claims Cheney approved classified media leaks
Libby says he didn't break the law -- because
Dick Cheney said it was OK!
Indicted former top White House aide I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby will argue that Vice President Dick Cheney authorized him to leak classified information in 2003 to bolster the case for the US-led war against Iraq, US news media reports.
Libby, who has been charged in a federal investigation into the outing of a CIA agent, will in part base his defense on the claim that Cheney had encouraged him to share classified information with reporters, NBC television news said, citing sources familiar with the case.
Gee, I wonder if anyone told Dick Cheney it was OK to tell Scooter Libby it was OK?
