and what is more, freepers are already going to send him away, having convicted.

The only reason why clinton was not sent away, was that 'you can not indict a sitting presidue' THen lott called the evidence in the senate trial garbage.

Miller was given the chance to correct her testimony after being prompted by Fitzgerald's revealing evidence of a meeting she forgot. Why wasn't Libby given the same opportunity and/or latitude?

I think Miller should have been indicted too. She lied, plane and simple. She was trying to cover for Libby, denying the June meeting happened. But to get the goods on Libby, Fitzgerald had to get her notes, and her testimony. Libby wasn't about to testify against Judy Miller.

I agree. Thanks for the reply.

Its BS. Fitzgerald is admitting Valerie Plame worked for the CIA and every one's status there is classified as a matter of record. But that doesn't make her a covert agent. Again, the law was not broken. Libby may have lied to be sure but that's completely different from what the Special Counsel was named to look into.

"...the GOP still seems to believe that we can work with and compromise with these Leftist traitors..."

The only way to deal with those who'd seek to destroy you is to incapacitate them fully - absolutely no compromise, no yield, no waiver.

I think Jim's FR mission statement is the epitome of that sentiment.

Thank you! I learned something today.

Libby said he told Russert he didn't know for sure that she worked for the CIA. Russert says Libby never indicated he wasn't sure.

This fascinating case could easily be lifted from today's headlines and made into the lamest episode of Law & Order ever.

I am not one for wild theories or hyperbole, however, I do believe we are living in a time where some kind of battle is going to take place between the left and right in this country.

So maybe Libby will be found not guilty by a jury, maybe he won't.

Right....a jury full of DC democrats.

[montag813]

no indictment for an actual crime. talk radio will be all over this.

Half of what prosecutors do is total bullshit, just trying to trip people up and charge them with something new.

[daybreakcoming]

According to the idictment Valerie was "classified". Doesn't say anything about "covert" but does say few people knew it.....like any of that matters if she is not covert. Did Fitz find a way to slide around that law?

[Pirate21]

One can shred, overwrite, and defrag all one wants, but the only way to truly "erase" a drive/disk is with a sledgehammer.

[pepperhead]

Fitzgerald will blow his career with this indictment.

I think your right.

[Proud Pagan Heart]

No, the news commies didn't break in when Hillary was indicted by a grand jury for making false statements. Wait a minute. She wasn't indicted. That must have just been a wet dream we all had.

[Perdogg]

What specific act was listed for the charge under Section 1503?
