"although Libby is charged with lying to a grand jury and the FBI, not with disclosing the CIA official's name."

I love how before this, the AP and Reuters would always say Libby was indicted after an investigation into the leaking of a CIA Agent's name- implying that Libby was indicted for "outing" plame. Now, they are shouting from the rooftops that Libby is indicted for perjury, not for outing. They are so transparent they will say anything, and even contradict themselves, to make a Conservative look bad.

Ditto!

This opening line:

"Bob Woodward's version of when and where he learned the identity of a CIA operative contradicts a special prosecutor's contention that Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide was the first to make the disclosure to reporters." - is not only a lie in regards to outing Plame but is instantly shot down by the second line:

"Attorneys for the aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, described Wednesday's statement by the Washington Post's assistant managing editor as helpful for their defense, although Libby is charged with lying to a grand jury and the FBI, not with disclosing the CIA official's name."

It's so blatant but edible as far as the left goes.

One man's "perjury" is another's "confusion".

Libby's supposed "perjury", is that he said he first heard about Plame from "A REPORTER". Woodward just blew Fitzy's case for that, out of the water.
