To be honest, I don't know what lies Scooter made. Can you help us all out here? Thanks in advance.

No that's the indictment ... not proven. Sorry for the confusion.

Sure: He was asked by both the FBI and in the Grand Jury "when and from whom did you learn Plame's identity". His answer was he learned it from converations with journalists. The dates for these converstions were established by Fitz and include conversations with Judith Miller, the guy from Time magazine, Robert Novack and Tim Russert. Based on this, and reviews of Libby's calander a timeline was constructed.

Fitz then showed that Libby had in fact asked a staffer to find out about her prior to all tese calls, and the staffer hand reported back that she was a CIA agent.

Thus Fitz charges Libby with lying to the GJ and FBI about where he learned of Val's job. And obstructing justice in doing so.

Again, going back to Clinton's adventures, this sure does sound like Perjury, doesn't it.

FBI: My Libby, who did you learn Valreie Plames role as a CIA agent from?

LIBBY: Some reporter, I'm note sure who, around July

... but in fact he had learned it months earlier via official channels.

Perhaps some Libby supporter can expain why he is not guilty of simple perjury. As I see things Val's secret status, or lack of it, *is* not really an issue.
