Cheney 'disappointed' with verdict

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney has issued a statement on the guilty verdict of his former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

"I am very disappointed with the verdict. I am saddened for Scooter and his family. As I have said before, Scooter has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction through many years of public service.

"Since his legal team has announced that he is seeking a new trial and, if necessary, pursuing an appeal, I plan to have no further comment on the merits of this matter until these proceedings are concluded."
