Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is urging Leakgate Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to indict Vice President Dick Cheney if he had anything to do with the decision of his chief of staff, Lewis Libby, to leak CIA employee Valerie Plame's identity to the media.

"I do think there needs to be more investigation of the vice president's office," Dean told the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" Monday night.

"One of the things established by the special prosecutor in the [Libby] indictment is that Vice President Cheney was the source of 'Scooter' Libby's knowledge about who the CIA agent was," Dean said in an interview with Alan Colmes.

"And the question is, did the vice president instruct 'Scooter' Libby to reveal that name?"

  "If he did," insisted Dean, then "the vice president is probably criminally negligent and he ought to be indicted as well."

The top Democrat predicted that "we're going to find that out - because Fitzgerald has a reputation for being ruthless, relentless and totally non-political."
