During the 14-minute interview in his West Wing office, the vice president touched on a range of topics. On the felony conviction in the C.I.A. leak case of his former aide, I. Lewis Libby Jr., whose prison sentence was commuted by Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney said he disagreed with the jury’s guilty verdict. He also backed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, saying he should keep his job. “I do. I’m a big fan of Al’s.”
