Exactly. The perjury all seems to revolve around Libby saying he heard it first from Russert. Russert denied it (in part).

However, if Libby heard it from Woodward (which Woodward admits is "possible") but mis-identified it as from his Russert conversation (of about the same time) - the testimony of Libby (as we know it), actually could be basically correct.

ONly partially correct. He would have heard of it first from Cheney, two people at the CIA, and another person at the STate Department. He would then have discussed this knowledge with three additional government officials and then forget it and attributed his knowledge to Russert/Woodward. Big difference. His failure to remember appears to indicate attempt to cover up.
