WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was indicted Friday on five charges that include obstruction of justice, making false statements and perjury in the investigation into the leak of a covert CIA agent’s name.
The five-count indictment accuses Libby of lying about how and when he learned about CIA official Valerie Plane’s identity in 2003 and then told reporters about it. The information was classified.

Josh Marshall makes an interesting observation about how the indictment makes it very clear that Cheney and Libby knew all along that Valerie Plame was a spy.
