I suspect that the Bushies have been stonewalling the 9/11 commission and groups seeking Cheney's energy policy meeting notes precisely because those documents would corroborate O'Neill's story...
Vindictive as they are, the Admin will obviously try to put the hurt to O"Neill, but I doubt it will work. He's too smart to not have consulted attorneys prior to publication, and he's wealthy enough to have really, really good attorneys... Not to mention they'll play hell finding a jury that would convict him of anything, and that they certainly won't want to produce the paperwork any good attorney would demand in the discovery process...
O'Neill's pretty bulletproof, considering that he's probably protected by whistleblower statutes, as well... unless they ship him to Gitmo, which would be a little too obvious...
