Can't speak for G.C. - but for me? Yeah, I think. He's Cheney's Chief of Staff, not merely "personal advisor." It's possible that he acted without the knowledge of his superior, but I find that concept doubtful.

It's likely that Cheney put 50 degrees of deniability between himself and the actual leak of Plame's name (which is why we likely won't see indictments as to the actual crime being investigated), but the degrees of cover-up often get dangerously close to the perpetrators. I really don't think it happens to stop at Scooter's desk and doesn't cross the tiny thin line to Dick's.
