Can someone please tell me why Libby lied when he never had to? Still can't figure that one out.

Libby probably couldn't remember if he actually said she worked for the CIA or that he had heard the rumor that she had worked for the CIA. So he approaches the grand jury with a story that he didn't have the conversation at all with the reporter, when the reporter or reporters says he did. So the issue now is he is lying about not discussing this subject with the reporters. There probably is enough evidence out their indicating that Plame was already outed. The prosecuter is saying he lied to the grand jury and is denying that he spoke to the reporter or reporters about Plame. Libby's story does not match up with the reporters version. Therefore the conclusion is Libby is lying to the Grand Jury and saying he did not have a conversation discussing Plame's association with the CIA.
Again, if the republicans would just stop talking to the media they could accomplish so much more.

Did Libby lie? That's what he is indicted for, but DID he lie?
BTW Andrea Mitchell has also said that those that covered the CIA knew about Plame. If Russert is her bureau chief, did Russert lie?

"Can someone please tell me why Libby lied when he never had to? Still can't figure that one out."

You assume he lied, but that is not clear to me at this point. He was hearing about Plame from several different people in a brief time frame, and some of those people were reporters. Also, he might have heard about Plame from reporters in some prior context having nothing to do with the Wilson story. He could argue confusion of memory, and he could even use "no obvious motive to lie" as part of his defense.

You ask a good question.

Exactly what did he lie about?

If what he told the SC was what and how he remembered it, and figured out later he was mistaken, is that a lie ?

How accurate are you with past events? (you meaning everyone, not just you my brother)

The TIRED OLD MEDIA (TOM) is not clarifying the issue very well. Did what Libby say that was determined to be incorrect cover up for illegal or immoral activities?

I have read his words, he spoke the truth.

I say prove what he said is a lie!
