If true, will this rule our Dick for president or make him a stronger candidate among his supporters?
NEW YORK - Notes in the hand of a federal prosecutor suggest the chief of staff to Vice President
Dick Cheney first heard of the covert
CIA officer central to a leak investigation from Cheney himself, The New York Times reported.

The newspaper said notes of a previously undisclosed June 12, 2003, conversation between I. Lewis Libby and Cheney appear to differ from Libby's grand jury testimony that he first heard of Valerie Plame from journalists.
The newspaper identified its sources in the story in Tuesday's editions only as lawyers who are involved in the case.
Libby has emerged at the center of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's criminal investigation in recent weeks because of the Cheney aide's conversations about Plame with Times reporter Judith Miller.
Miller said Libby spoke to her about Plame and her husband, Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson, on three occasions ? although not necessarily by name and without indicating he knew she was undercover.
Libby's notes show that Cheney knew Plame worked at the CIA more than a month before her identity was publicly exposed by columnist Robert Novak.
At the time of the Cheney-Libby conversation, Wilson had been referred to ? but not by name ? in the Times and on the morning of June 12, 2003 on the front page of The Washington Post.
The Times reported that Libby's notes indicate Cheney got his information about Wilson from then-CIA Director George Tenet, but said there was no indication he knew her name.
