An FBI interview summary released Friday, Oct. 30, 2009 to a watchdog group says Cheney told the FBI in 2004 that he had no idea who leaked to the news media that Valerie Plame, wife of a Bush administration critic, worked for the CIA. The FBI summary of Cheney's interview from 2004 reflects that the vice president had deep concern about Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador in Africa who said the administration had twisted prewar intelligence on Iraq. Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI in the probe of who leaked Plame's identity to the news media.
