The statement said that Libby had told the FBI about his conversation with Russert and requested that it be disclosed.

Why would Libby do this? I don't think anyone leaked this information but Wilson himself? Something more is going on here. Can someone explain this in plain English?

To clear his name, just as he apparently did with Kessler.

Okay, you've got Russert, who has testified to the special prosecutor.

Then there are the two others, one a Time reporter, and one a Washington Post journalist.

I'm supposed to believe that they are willing to be in contempt of court, suffer fines, all because they're trying to protect a source inside the Bush administration.

Excuse me, but I don't believe liberal journalists who want to see the Bush administration lose, would be trying protect a source in the Bush White House.

What are the chances the source is a democrat?

Only about 100%, but the journalists will go to jail before they let it be known.

Thanks. bump!

Diplomat at Eye of Storm (Joseph Wilson)

He also supports efforts by the antiwar organization Moveon.org to put conditions on spending in Iraq by the Bush administration -- among them, the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and others.

Wilson had been sent by the CIA to Niger to check the allegation, and he concluded it was unfounded. Novak wrote that Plame had suggested her husband for the mission, a claim Plame and Wilson have denied.

They may have denied it, but the Nine Eleven Commission report says otherwise. Why would the article state the phony denial and not the facts? Oh, it's AP, never mind.

You can get to it through thie excerpted one I just posted-- similar information but here and there additional detail. Annoying how they used the same title.
