Why do we hear so little about Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby?
What's the saying,

"it's not what the news is telling you, its what they're NOT telling you".

They sure are NOT telling us alot about Cheney and Libby, but they are hammering us about Rove.

Could it be a 'hey look over here' distraction to avoid calling attention to whats going on over 'there'?

Makes one wonder...

1. As long as the prosecutor is not distracted,
there is nothing to worry about.

5. Depends what you are (not) reading
Have you been following the Conyers & Waas blogs, as well as articles in SLATE and AMERICAN PROGRESS?

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1995986

If you mean Corporate Media, I think we are in for a very pleasant surprise. The shit is soon to hit the fan!

9. Invisible Cheney?
He's busy engineering the preemptive nuclear attack of Iran. His deadline is the month of August, so that doesn't leave much time for making the talk show rounds.
