THE US prosecutor in the CIA leak case has told a court his evidence will include a newspaper article with handwritten notes by the Vice-President, Dick Cheney, referring to Valerie Plame shortly before she was exposed as a CIA operative.
The special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald said in the pre-trial filing on Friday that the notes showed Mr Cheney and his former chief-of-staff Lewis Libby were "acutely focused" on the July 6, 2003, article written by Ms Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, a Bush Administration critic and former US ambassador.
"Have they done this sort of thing before?" Mr Cheney wrote. "Send an amb[assador] to answer a question? Do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? Or did his wife send him on a junket?"
Out of fairness to the newspaper I will leave the rest of this story to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Sounds like he's aiming for Cheney, doesn't it? I wonder what DeadEye Dick told him about the Plame case when Fitz interviewed him a few years back?
