Cheney gave Libby OK to rip foe: mag

....

But Libby will not contend in his defense that he was only following orders from Cheney and others, Libby's lawyers said yesterday.

"There is no truth at all to the story that Mr. Libby's lawyers have advised the Court or the Special Counsel that he will raise a defense based on authorization by superiors," Libby lawyer Bill Jeffress said in a statement.

I like to speed up the info process.

Unfortunately, you've sped up the info process at the cost of accuracy.

This story will never be posted in the context I gave it unless the headline is changed to reflect truth in the article.

Your headline is not supported by the article. It is not reflecting the truth of anything.

You could not be more hopelessly wrong.

I am more accurate than you will ever be in this case.

I'll agree with Mark Levin.

You keep your lib-like analysis.

The authorization mention by Fitz has to do with the authorization of Libby to speak about the NIE, not Plame.

Well I'm sure we all thank you for being the light of the world. In my 4+ years as a freeper, I've noted that there are some seriously sharp cookies reading and posting here. I think most of us get it, even without your headline changing.

The charges against Libby do no deal with Plame's covert status, so whether or not Libby was acting on the President's or Vice-President's orders to disclose Plame's employment is irrelevant to his defense.
Excellent point.

Per NRO, Fitz's letter says Libby testified that he was "authorized to disclose info about the NIE to the press by his superiors."

This is not about Plame.

I'll agree with Mark Levin.

Given how you've misrepresented the article here, I have no faith that you are fairly representing Mark Levin's views. Charitably assuming that you are, it does not matter. I read the article. Jeffress never said he wouldn't defend Libby by saying that Cheney authorized Libby to rebut Wilson's false claims. Jeffress merely stated that he had not communicated such a defense to the court or prosecutor.

That said, I have no idea what defense Jeffress will employ. I'm sure that he's still gathering information in order to develop his most effective defense.

well, at least you didn't capitalize the 't' in truth this time. Anonymous internet forum posters don't have what it takes to offend me. But your delusions of grandeur are providing me with a bit of Friday night amusement.

It must comfort liberals to have friends here at freerepublic.

As far as Levin goes, you should listen to his entire program before you speak. He read the entire press release of Libby's lawyer on the air yesterday. He made the same point I made here.

You can choose to defend your false logic by neglecting the fact that Libby's lawyer completely destroyed the false premise made by the MSM. That's what liberals do best.

I don't get angry when people laugh at me. I've had liberals laugh at me from time to time. They tend to do that when they are wrong.

Libby's lawyer completely destroying the false MSM premise may not make sense to you. I can't help you if you are incapable of reading.

TRUTH is TRUTH.

If you are too obtuse to comprehend it, that's what liberals do best.

At least someone here is coherent enough to read some truth without coming to the defense of liberal falsehoods.

This back and forth is like debating liberals on election night.

Again, thank you for your service and your logic.

Yup. I'm a liberal because I made the suggestion you leave the freaking headline as is and make your editorial comments, even re-write the headline, in the comments section.

Actually, I think that makes me a commie, hippie, atheist, evolution believing, anti-smoking Nazi who kicks 4 pound toy poodles across the street.

With your knack for deductive reasoning, I think you can only handle a 3.5 pound toy poodle.

"There is no truth at all to the story that Mr. Libby's lawyers have advised the Court or the Special Counsel that he will raise a defense based on authorization by superiors,"

Libby would be nuts to do so since he would have to admit to the allegations. The indictment is for lying and obstructing justice not for leaking classified information.

I don't think Libby is prepared to say yes I lied and obstructed but the WH told me to do it.
