People don't understand what happened here. Fitzgerald's theory of the case is that Libby was the FIRST leaker to the press so when Libby told the FBI and the Grand Jury that, he Libby, heard about Plame from a reporter it must be perjury

Fitzgerald said "First person known" to have passed this information on to the press. But you miss an important part of his accusation. Fitz is not saying Libby committed a crime because he said he heard about Wilson/Plame from a reporter, its that he conveniently forgot the four people including Cheney who had told him that information prior to any reporter, that he had met with seven government officals on how to deal with the issue of Wilson and his wife. In fact he even forgot a meeting with Ari Fleischer where he told the press secretary that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and that was a week before he supposely told Russert. The prosecutor is after him for conveniently forgetting this earlier knowledge so he could say he was just passing on one rumour from one reporter to another. Not the whole truth if even partially true.

It's kind of funny seeing your jihad against Libby. You want to throw him in the slammer for thirty years for perjury (a "process crime") where his testimony was not material because there was no crime. Never mind. It was illegal. (Name the last person who was prosecuted for perjury under such circumstances? Cite twenty cases.)

Hey, aren't you the same guy who defends illegal aliens? Don't you say, whem it's noted they have broken the law:

"Show me a person that has never done anything illegal and I show you someone with a poor memory or a damn liar."

Don't look now, but your agenda is showing.

What if Woodward told Libby?
