Cheney and Libby: Lying about Lying
Do two lies make a truth? In “Cheney and Libby: Lying about Lying,”  
Marcy Wheeler, a pivotal liveblogger of the Libby trial, uncovers the  
real news: the Office of the Vice President has a serious aversion to  
telling the truth.

In “Cheney,” Wheeler uses evidence introduced in the Libby trial to  
track the lies from the Office of the Vice President, beginning with  
its bumbled response to Joseph Wilson’s July 6, 2003 op-ed which  
contradicted the President’s State of the Union address on the topic  
of Iraq’s nuclear arsenal.

“The Office of the Vice President (OVP)—specifically Vice President  
Dick Cheney, Libby and Cathie Martin, Cheney’s press secretary—tried  
to cover-up the Bush administration’s original lies to Congress and  
the American people about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction with more  
lies,” writes Wheeler.

Ultimately, “when confronted with their lying, [Cheney’s office]  
acted indignant, responded with another lie and then tried—again—to  
cook the evidence.”
