AlterNet: Worse than Watergate; is it Chain Gang time for Cheney?

Looks like Cheney could be in trouble as well as Rove and Scooter.

AlterNet: Worse than Watergate: "We now know that Cheney lied to the American people about his involvement in the effort to smear Joe Wilson.

Three months after reportedly receiving a briefing about Wilson's trip to Niger from George 'Slam Dunk' Tenet, and then telling Scooter Libby that Plame may have helped arrange her husband's trip, the Vice President went on national TV and told Tim Russert he didn't have a clue about the situation: 'I don't know Joe Wilson ... I don't know who sent Joe Wilson ... I have no idea who hired him and it never came up.'

We now know that Karl Rove lied about his involvement, too.

Back in September 2003, when Rove was asked if he had 'any knowledge' about the Plame leak, he answered with an unambiguous 'No.'"
