CIA leak case may reveal the Beltway's underbelly
By Carol D. Leonnig
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — When Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff goes on trial today on charges of lying about the disclosure of a CIA officer's identity, members of Washington's government and media elite will be answering some embarrassing questions as well.
The estimated six-week trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby will pit current and former Bush administration officials against one another and, if Cheney is called as expected, will mark the first time a sitting vice president has testified in a criminal case.
The case has largely played out in below-the-radar court hearings as prosecutors and defense lawyers have mapped the boundaries of the trial. Despite speculation that Bush would pardon Libby to avoid the spectacle of a trial, the date has arrived.
From 2/6/1971 ( I was Apollo 14 Antares command astronaut walking on the Earth's moon ) to 11/29/1995 ( I was test pilot for first flight of F/A-18E/F Super Hornet ) is: 9062 days
9062 = 4531 + 4531
From 3/4/1959 ( my birth date UK ) to 7/30/1971 ( I was Apollo 15 Falcon astronaut landing on Earth's moon ) is: 4531 days

From 7/16/1963 ( my wife ) to 11/8/1970 ( my first ascent to Mount Everest summit ) is: 2672 days
