Investigative jourmalist Murray Waas reports that Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a still-highly confidential FBI report, admitted to federal investigators that he rewrote press talking points in July 2003 which made it much more likely the role of then-covert CIA-officer Valerie Plame might be revealed.

Cheney conceded during his interview with federal investigators that in drawing attention to Plame’s role in arranging her husband’s [former ambassador Joe Wilson] Africa trip reporters might also unmask her role as CIA officer but denied he had done anything on purpose that would lead to the outing of Plame as a covert CIA operative.
