So we're supposed to believe that everybody else is lying, but Libby is telling the truth? If that's the case, numerous officials from the Bush Administration would have to be lying, including the former press secretary, because they contradict Libby.

It's possible Libby was just badly mistaken, but he'll have to convince a judge or jury of that if he lets this go all the way to trial. If I was him, I'd be working on a deal. Something tells me that jury pool in D.C. isn't gonna be GOP-friendly.

Russert is the one who has been caught in lies. Why wasn't he prosecuted? He initially tried to make it sound as if he had been called by Libby with a Wilson-related tidbit, although Libby said the conversation had actually been primarily about some other issue (welfare reform policy, IIRC). Russert denied it - and then when his notes were supoenaed, it turned out that Libby was right, and they had indeed discussed the other issue, with anything about Wilson apparently being an afterthought and a bit of digging on Russert's part.

Faulty memory? Possibly. Or possibly intentional misleading of the GJ to make things seem worse for Libby. But because this is Russert we're talking about, nothing happened. On the other hand, Libby is being railroaded with even less evidence.

Remember, any jury in DC is overwhelmingly made up of hard-core Dems, and this is something that has to be taken into consideration in this case.

Why have you already convicted Libby without him having his day in Court?

Fritzgerald is nothing more that a hack for the Democtats with a kangeroo Grand Jury.

During his press conference Fritzgerald violated Libby's Constitutional rights to a fair trial numerous times.

Judging from your posts you are either a RHINO or a Democrat.
