The "in-fighting" in the Bush White House and the deliberately manipulated intelligence to justify the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 may be coming to light again.
It looks like the politically embarrassing news is going to add another notch in GW's belt of corruption and "lame-duck" status.
WASHINGTON--Lawyers for Vice President Dick Cheney's former top aide are signaling they may delve deeply at his criminal trial into infighting among the White House, the CIA and the State Department over pre-Iraq war intelligence failures.
In a prelude to a possible defense, the lawyers for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby also are suggesting that the State Department--not Libby--may be to blame for leaking the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame to the media.
Court papers filed late Friday raise the possibility a trial could become politically embarrassing for the Bush administration by focusing on the debate about whether the White House manipulated intelligence to justify the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
Corruption at its finest, on trial for the whole world to see.
