You are correct for the reasons he was indicted for ...BUT, the prosecutor is only "surmising" that LIbby perjured himself, obstructed justice, & making false statements because Libby simply could not remember exact times, details etc.
He never once ever tried to not co-operate with Fitzgerald, & never took the 5th. Perhaps his recollection of events could simply be wrong!
I think what the tragedy here is, that regardless....so many journalists, & others KNEW damn well who Valerie Plame was & the fact that she was emplyed by the CIA, & the idea that Libby could get upwards of 30 years in prison for a disigenuine couple who were probably out to make Bush's reasons for war with Iraq an empty exercize just frosts my nuts.
Her & hubby Joe Wilson NEVER made an attempt to shun the media hounds; & in fact LOVED the media spotlight & attention. "WHY" write an op-ed piece, & WHY go to Vanity Fair magazine for photo-op shoots, & get their faces plastered all over the magazine etc.....IF ONE IS TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING THEIR IDENTITY EXPOSED ?
Something is pretty smelly here, ..& I'm gonna tell you; ..but the Libby trial lawyers will probably have some elements of the media "wetting" themselves when they seek their records.
Me thinks the media will be squealing like a hog when that happens...huh huh:smile: ! Its just my opinion but I think the media's culpability in all of this CIA/LEAK is going to go "MUCH" further than what most people presume,..I honestly do; & I honestly believe "some" within the democratic party leadership are going to wish they were on a far away island before its over.
