Karma finally getting around to Dick Cheney

That's right, they've finally found something on Mr. Halliburton himself, Vice President Dick Cheney. Rally 'round the impeachment wagons, this could just be the beginning. AP is reporting:

Documents in the CIA leak investigation indicate the chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney first heard of the covert CIA officer from Cheney himself, The New York Times reported in Tuesday editions.

The newspaper said notes of a previously undisclosed June 12, 2003 conversation between I. Lewis Libby and Cheney appear to differ from Libby's grand jury testimony that he first heard of Valerie Plame from journalists. The newspaper identified its sources as lawyers who are involved in the case.

Surely, Fitzgerald will now pursue a perjury charge against Libby, but the administration would have sold her out to save face eventually. The big question now is whether there will be charges on the way for Cheney and just how far this all goes.

Also interesting, why was this released at nearly 1 in the morning? Are they trying to bury it already? I hope this gets plenty of air time.
