In a late night Friday filing, attorneys for I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, named key witnesses in the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Included for the first time in formal documents was National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley.

In the documents, Libby’s team listed potential witnesses for the defense as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Marc Grossman, current National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, and former CIA spokesman Bill Harlow.

Valerie Plame Wilson first became known to the public when her identity was disclosed by conservative columnist Robert Novak on July 14, 2003. The column ran just one week after her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, had written an op-ed for the New York Times asserting that White House officials twisted pre-war intelligence on Iraq. Some believe that her outing was retaliation for her husband’s public criticism of the war-bent White House.
