'Bush losing faith in Cheney, top aides'


President George W. Bush's confidence in his top team of advisors, including all-important Vice President Dick Cheney, has fallen sharply in the wake of the CIA leak scandal, Time magazine reported Sunday.

In the wake of Friday's indictment of Cheney's top advisor for lying to a grand jury over the case, Bush's faith in his own top aides Karl Rove and Andrew Card, as well as Cheney, has dropped, Time reported.

"He's lost some of his confidence in the three people he listens to the most," Time quoted an unnamed White House adviser as saying.
