Scooter should call everybody else first, expose as much of the CIA plot as possible,and save the Timmy the Toad for last.The classic "Star Witness".
If Libby lied to get the whole thing in court, he sure has 'gone all-in' betting 30 years of his life. So that's a big maybe when he doesn't know Fitzgerald's hole cards.
Scooter can supoena Wilson's testimony and the transcript of Plame's interview if he chooses.
That's the hidden time bomb in all this,IMO,what I thought might never see the light of day because of GJ secrecy, now can be exposed publicly in a court of law.
The damaging thing for Libby is that he told investigators and the Grand Jury that he didn't hear about Plame's identity until a certain date, and that he heard it first from the press, and yet Fitzgerald has evidence that he heard it from at least four people in the Government before that date.
Boy you would never know that by reading some of the newspaper articles and listening to the MSM. The reporting sounds like the next step in this process is to switch to the "Lied going to War" routine we hear everyday. If Bush lied to get us to war, then I want every one of the Senators that voted for Bush to enforce Resolution 1441, every stinkin one, to be impeached along with Bush. Dems and Repubs alike (especially the Demonrats who want to take down BUSH).
A large part of Fitzy's evidence sounds like he said/she said stuff to me.The rest could just be explained away as faulty recollection.
On the other hand, maybe Scooter deliberately lied for the higher purpose of exposing a plot to undermine the war effort.All he would need in that case is one sympathetic juror.
It's all just speculation on my part, but I find it intrigueing. I hope Scooter prevails and this whole sordid mess is exposed for what it is.
That has been clear for some time. All that has happened in the last five years is to show how hard it is for a presient to control 1) the State Department, )the Defence Department, 3) the intelligence communities. Indeed, the whole of the federal government. Talk about countervailing forces, checks and balances, etc. It seems clear than carryovers from previous administrations invariably oppose an incoming administration, even those carryovers from his FATHER's administration.
That would be a first in history, too put it mildly!

ROFLOL!
For a man like Russert to be named as a key witness in a criminal indictment can't be a good thing.
from http://www.voanews.com/english/2005-10-28-voa63.cfm
"The indictment, says Mr. Conyers, should be the beginning rather than the end of a process of holding the administration accountable for what he calls the pre-emptive war in Iraq." and "Senator John Kerry, the former Democratic presidential nominee who lost to President Bush in the 2004 election, accused the White House of trying to cover up the use of national security information as a weapon against a critic of administration policy in Iraq."
it stands a good chance.
Apparently there is too much demand for the top picture.
It is is the same Rove look a like with a sign saying, "Indict this!"
Hopefully the demand will cool down a little.
How much credence should be placed in the blatherings of Conyers, Pelosi, Kerry, and Kennedy in your judgement.?
You say if President Bush lied to get us to war you want him impeached.Why do you even entertain such a notion?
What were the reasons President Bush gave for pre-emptive war, do you recall? Which reason could even remotely have been a lie?
Right now you've got me scratching my head wondering what in the heck you're talking about.
Libby will never serve a day in jail.
Pray for W and Our Troops
