Ever since Fitzgerald’s filing last week I’ve been saying that the "can’t he or can’t he declassify" discussion over the NIE was a red herring. We know from Fitzberald’s response that Cheney authorized Scooter Libby to disclose misleading portions of the NIE to Judy Miller for political cover, but he says nothing about whether anyone authorized Libby to leak the other two documents he showed Miller at the same time, one of which Fitzgerald takes pains to point out most certainly was classified — the CIA report regarding Joe Wilson’s trip to Niger:
Defendant discussed with Miller the contents of a then classified CIA report which defendant characterized to Miller as having been written by Wilson. Defendant advised Miller that Wilson had reported that he had learned that in 1999 an Iraqi delegation visited Niger and sought to expand commercial relations, which was understood to be a reference to a desire to obtain uranium.
Wilson didn’t write the report himself. But the fact that Libby admits he went to David Addington for legal counsel prior to releasing the NIE shows that he wasn’t just recklessly shooting from the hip, he wanted to know his ass was covered. It does not make sense on any level that he did not seek this same cover with regard to information that most certainly had not been declassified. And according to Murray Waas today, those suspicions were correct. Dick Cheney authorized Libby to leak the classified trip report to Judy Miller. (I’ve since spoken to Joe Wilson who says it is his understanding that the document is still classified.)
