There has to be a a recorded conversation between Russert and Libby to prove Libby lied or else this is just the word of one person against another.

It is legal in DC to record every phone call of anybody without either party knowing of they taping, and the NSA does it every single day. Somewhere in the bowels of the NSA on a disk backup system attached to the Thinking Machine {or it's latest replacement, whatever that happens to be, probably IBM there is possibly a recording of all of these phone calls. If one party was using a cell phone, then for sure it was recorded. Since all of the phone traffic is examined by computer, it may have determined {by the computer} that the conversations were not significant and the data may have since been deleted. There is a finite amount of storage, and most phone traffic is insignificant. I don't know if the non secure land line phones in the WH are monitored on a regular basis, but I would suspect that they are. Too bad it won't be able to be used, even if it exists.
