Hmmmmm, I was just thinking (WOW), is it possible that Fitzgerald went after Libby like he did knowing Libby would call defense witnesses, some of the Press, Wilson and Plame under oath?
Being there is a strong right to defend yourself, maybe Fitzgerald went after Libby to ***out*** under oath all the people he would not have been able to easily get at as a prosecutor.
Think about this, you get Wilson under oath denying outing his wife earlier and there are already several witnesses that are going to make what he does perjury.
You further have Wilson under oath having to testify about how his results were politically motivated and not based on facts.
Then you get Plame and various Press people up there under oath in the course of a Libby defense and much of what they say will also cause them to purger themselves as well.

Could be Fitzgerald has been using this thing against Libby to get to the real nest of spiders.
Sure seems this wasn't ever going to come out as a great prosecution for Fitzgerald IMO.

No way the judges can block Press, Wilson, Plame or others from testifying under oath. This is too major an issue and Libby has a constitutional right to a fair trial.

So, you think it may be a rope-a-dope kinda thing. 8) I sure would like if that's the case. That's pretty slick. I hadn't thought of that for sure, it would be nice. Libby's lawyer is a fool if he doesn't call wilson, plame, miller, and novak to the stand. Between Libby's lawyer and Fitzgerald, they could sure catch wilson and plame in some lies. ANd added to that the General stating under oath that wilson told him in 2002, a year before the Iraq war, that his wife worked for the "Agency". If you're concerned about your wife maintaining her cover, you don't mention her employment at the CIA in casual conversaion to a military consultant with FOX News. This will be interresting to watch. I sure hope you're right!!! 8)
