NY Daily News is just smoking with breaking news lately.
This news is especially relevant news because Fitzgerald's case seemed to focus mostly around the discrepancies between the array of reporters forced to testify and Libby's prior lying statements to the grand jury about his leaking Plame's identity; he and Rove thought that the reporters would never testify...
These CIA agents testifying against Libby is so extremely critical in this case because it shows further evidence of the White House conspiracy that most Americans realize occurred, with heavy coordination from Bush and Cheney who should eventually be implicated in the conspiracy as well, apparently in large part from these CIA officials' testimony (and in addition to the reporters' testimony).
Two top CIA officials will bolster prosecutors' charge that Vice President Cheney's chief aide lied to them, court papers show.
Prosecutors say disgraced Cheney chief of staff Lewis (Scooter) Libby learned CIA spy Valerie Plame's identity from, among others, agency officials who will be called to testify at his trial for perjury, false statements and obstruction of justice.
Both CIA officials - including a top architect of the 2003 Iraq invasion - discussed Plame with Libby a month before columnist Robert Novak blew her cover in July 2003, prosecutors charge.
Until recently, the CIA officials' identities were kept secret by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who did not name them in Libby's October indictment.
But subsequent documents allege Libby asked top CIA official Robert Grenier on June 11 why the agency sent Wilson to Niger to see if Iraq tried to buy uranium. Grenier replied that Plame was an agent and "believed responsible" for arranging her husband's trip.
The other official was Craig Schmall, a CIA briefer whom Libby complained to about the Wilson trip on June 14, court files allege.
Grenier, the CIA's station chief in Islamabad, Pakistan, helped stage the successful U.S. attack on the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Cheney, per this evidence, and Bush, via this evidence, are so screwed with this revelation...
