It seems clear from Bart Gellman’s piece in the WaPo today that Libby did indeed speak with Cheney on July 12 about how to respond to press inquiries about the Wilson matter. Libby subsequently leaked the name. Leaving legal matters aside, does anyone seriously doubt that Libby would have done what he did without Cheney’s support, collusion and permission? I guess I should say for the record: I don’t. Whatever can be legally proven, it seems by far the likeliest scenario that Dick Cheney knowingly compromised national security to smear a political opponent. Greg Djerejian has more.
