CIA leak probe moves from Karl Rove to Vice President Dick Cheney. If this keeps up, we're going to have Bush running the country.

Cheney may be target of probe
'Any attempts to discredit Joseph Wilson would almost certainly have been known to the vice president. "Scooter wouldn't be freelancing on this without Cheney's knowledge," a source said.'

"If top officials are indicted, it could seriously erode the administration's credibility and prove yet another embarrassment to President Bush." Heh.

A special prosecutor's intensifying focus into who outed a CIA spy has raised questions whether Vice President Cheney himself is involved, knowledgeable sources confirmed yesterday.

At least one source and one reporter who have testified in the probe said Patrick Fitzgerald is pursuing Cheney's role in the Valerie Plame affair.

In addition, at least six current and former Cheney staffers - most members of the White House Iraq Group - have testified before the grand jury, including Scooter Libby and two top Cheney national security lieutenants.

Cheney's name has come up amid indications Fitzgerald may be edging closer to a blockbuster conspiracy charge - with help from a secret snitch.

Crap. I was really hoping to see Karl Rove's pasty, sweaty phiz all over the news as he gets frogmarched from the WH in disgrace.
