Libby was shielding Cheney

This WaPo story suggests that Scooter intentionally perjured himself as part of a cover-up. Why they still feel like they should get a "nobody-did-anything-illegal" comment from GOP apologist Victoria Toensing every time they report on this eludes us, but it's in there. Anyway, Atrios is right. Cheney let his loyal aide walk the plank.
