ORIGINAL: TallClevDom Sorry, he was convicted for lying about exposing the identity of a CIA agent. But why don't you address the real issue? Why wasn't Cheney charged? Your post about a boss being criminally responsible for a subordinate seems to say he should, but you won't say it. The actual "leaker" was Richard Armitage, via columnist Robert Novak. The five-count indictment of Libby included perjury (two counts), obstruction of justice (one count), and making false statements to federal investigators (two counts). There was, however, no count for disclosing classified information, i.e., Plame's status as a CIA operative.
