The breathless headline:
Ex-Cheney aide gets 10 years in prison in spy case
The third paragraph of the article:
Aragoncillo worked on the security detail assigned to the vice president from 1999 to 2002, where he held a top security clearance. He later took a job as an intelligence analyst with the FBI in New Jersey.
In other words, Leandro Aragoncillo was not a political appointee and was brought in by, and served during, the Clinton administration. So in what sense, if any, was Aragoncillo a Cheney aid? None!. Aragoncillo merely worked in the Office of the Vice President while Dick Cheney was Veep.
