Of course it's all speculation right now, but there's an interesting storm brewing;

It appears Libby was ordered by people he refers to as his "superiors" to leak Valerie Plame's name. And then there's the more interesting story
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0602/S00110.htm
Looks like Cheney had almost a vendetta against Plame's husband Joseph Wilson, and used tax payer money to make up a smear-campaign against the guy that was basically made up. The wrath of Cheney seems to come from a time when Wilson publicly criticized Cheney & Bush in 2003 over their intelligence gathered to warrant the Iraq war.
A very interesting paragraph;
Lets hear a big round of applause for our national leadership!

A very interesting paragraph;
In interviews over the course of two days this week, these officials were urged to speak on the record for this story. But they resisted, saying they had already testified before a grand jury investigating the leak of Wilson's wife, covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, and added that speaking out against the administration and specifically Vice President Cheney would cause them to lose their jobs and subject their families to vitriolic attacks by the White House.
The officials said they decided to speak out now because they have become disillusioned with the Bush administration's policies regarding Iraq and the flawed intelligence that led to the war.
Lets hear a big round of applause for our national leadership!
