The International Herald Tribune puts the leak relevation in perspective in
Data from Cheney aide disputed before leak
"Fitzgerald, in his filing, said Libby had been authorized to tell Judith Miller, then a reporter for The New York Times, on July 8, 2003, that a key finding of the 2002 intelligence estimate on Iraq was that Baghdad had been vigorously seeking to acquire uranium from Africa.
But a week earlier, in an interview in his State Department office, Powell told three other reporters for The Times that intelligence agencies had essentially rejected that contention, and were 'no longer carrying it as a credible item' by early 2003, when he was preparing to make the case against Iraq at the United Nations."
The Washington Post as a similar story.
What the new information shows is that Bush was in fact manipulating intelligence and lying to the American people. That's got to be impeachable.
