• As Prosecution Rests in Trial of ex-Cheney Chief of Staff, Pentagon Report Faults Bush Admin on Pre-War Intelligence

  
  

  The prosecution has rested its case in the trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff. Libby faces five counts of lying to federal investigators, perjury, and obstruction of justice in connection to the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Plame’s identity was leaked after her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, questioned the Bush administration’s pre-war claims on Iraqi weapons. Meanwhile, a Pentagon investigation has concluded Bush administration officials engaged in inappropriate behavior in their handling of Iraq intelligence before the US invasion. We’re joined by Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff. [includes rush transcript]
