Washington: A former top aide to US Vice President Dick Cheney was sentenced on Tuesday to two and-a-half years in prison for lying and obstructing an investigation related to the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq war.

US District Judge Reggie Walton imposed the stiff sentence on Lewis "Scooter" Libby for lying to investigators trying to determine who leaked the identity of CIA analyst Valerie Plame in 2003.
