More on what Rove and Libby did and when they did it.

From the Guardian.

1. Rove and Libby failed to tell FBI that they had talked to Cooper from Time and Russert from NBC about Valerie Plame when they were frist questioned. Both reporters have contradicted Rove and Libby' statements.
2. Tenet, Director of CIA, took public responsibility for letting the "16 words" about the uranium in Niger into the State of the Union Speech, but Rove and Libby had a role in writing his admission.
3. Fitzgeralds' investigators are working to determine who forged the Niger-uranium documents. One issue being investigated is whether former US intelligence agents may worked with Iraqi exiles to create evidence that showed that Saddam Hussein had a nuclear program.

Item 3. is about the question of who lied to the American public to cause the preemptive (and unnecessary) invasion of Iraq. Items 1. and 2. refer to the coverup conducted by Presidential Aides in the White House.

Strange the we have to read the better reports in the British Guardian.
