Bush Not Concerned About Libby Trial Focus On Crimes, But About Exposing How Cheney Operates

Jim Rutenberg and Neil Lewis for the NY Times have a story headlining that Bush is relieved Turdblossom was able to skate an indictment from Fitz. But there remains some White House concern about what the Libby trial might reveal. --- A Republican who is close to several administration officials, and who was granted anonymity to discuss internal thinking at the White House, said the White House was troubled that the Libby trial, which is scheduled to begin in January, has the potential to expose some of the inner workings of the vice president's office. "There's not concern about showing any illegalities as much as there is a window into the policy process that will be unflattering to the vice president," this person said.
