“It’s clear there are going to be some areas of disagreement,” Cline said, adding that he thought the lawyers could narrow the differences with the judge’s help and avoid a fight with the White House.

Walton set an Aug. 16 hearing to resolve the differences. The hearing will be held behind closed doors.

Fitzgerald also said he doesn’t anticipate any fights with the White House over witnesses he plans to call at Libby’s trial in January. Fitzgerald has indicated that he might call witnesses ranging from Cheney to former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer and former State Department official Marc Grossman.

“The White House is aware of the witnesses we intend to call ... and the subject areas,” the prosecutor told Walton. “This is not a crisis that is looming. I want to assure you of that.”

The first two paragraphs. Isn't showing a "concern" about certain documents now an "attempt to block?"

good, get one memo from Plame and have a CIA higher up testify to if some one in that department is considered a covered person. Puts the whole Dem victimhood gambit to bed and makes Fitzy look like he didn't do his job on finding out if a crime had been committed in the first place.

Why do I get the feeling that Fritz will call his most prominent witnesses around Oct. 10th... Just in time for the elections. He is working hard against this administration to cast it in the worst possible light...
