Cheney's key role in leak case detailed
Integritude.
A former aide testified Thursday that Cheney personally directed the effort to discredit administration critic Joe Wilson by having calls made to reporters in 2003.
Cheney dictated detailed "talking points" for his chief of staff, Scooter Libby, and others on how they could impugn the critic's credibility, said Catherine Martin, who was the vice president's top press aide at the time. Cheney's active role in the campaign to undermine Wilson has been known, but Martin's testimony was the first inside account of the administration's attempts to manage the affair.
