From Wonkette:

We hear Cheney, too. We hear “Watergate-esque.” We hear “perjury.”

Info can be found at The Raw Story. It’s mostly nothing, really. A prosecutor reknowned for his thoroughness making sure his i’s are dotted and t’s crossed. Nonetheless, it’s interesting stuff:

The investigation into who leaked the officer’s name to reporters has now turned toward a little known cabal of administration hawks known as the White House Iraq Group (WHIG), which came together in August 2002 to publicize the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. WHIG was founded by Bush chief of staff Andrew Card and operated out of the Vice President’s office.

Fitzgerald’s examination centers on a group of players charged with not only selling the war, but according to sources familiar with the case, to discredit anyone who openly “disagreed with the official Iraq war” story.

Sources close to the investigation have also confirmed that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is trying to determine Vice President Cheney’s role in the outing of Mrs. Wilson, more specifically, if Cheney ordered the leak.

Those close to Fitzgerald say they have yet to uncover any evidence that suggests Cheney ordered the leak or played a role in the outing of Mrs. Wilson. Still, the sources said they are investigating claims that Cheney may have been involved based on his attendance at meetings of the Iraq group. Previous reports indicate Cheney was intimately involved with the framing of the Iraq war.

While we’re talking about GOP wrong-doing, I should have thought of this myself, as I’m a huge fan of Wag the Dog. Mithras writes about the NYC bomb scare (now apparently revealed to be a “hoax” by the informant) and victories against Al Qaeda that are just too conveniently timed with investigations into Karl Rove.
