The question is not whether a journalist told him anything, its how he conveniently FORGOT (?) all that he knew from information given him (his request) from the CIA and State department. Why Rove, Fleishcer and Libby's own notes show that he met numerous times to discuss what to do with the information that Wilson's wife who works at the CIA recommended him for the trip. He's got to explain how he could forget all that and then claim a reporter (pick one) told him about Wilson's wife working at the CIA for the first time the week before Novak's article. It's not a simple case of confusing Russert with Woodward. Besides Woodward got it from Powell.

And you have all of these "facts" courtesy of what source(s)?

Did you know that the Israelis fired a rocket into some Lebanese ambulances (but it didn't kill anybody)?

Did you know that Richard Jewell planted the explosives at Olympic Park in Atlanta?

And have you heard that this guy confessed to killing Jon Benet?

Why the willingness to believe the unsubstantiated and untested allegations? Is it because they are attacking Bush? That they fall primarily on folks who are supporters of Israel? What's your agenda here?

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong. I am saying your wrong not to exhibit more skepticism of the charges against Libby, particularly given the most recent revelations.

They are all in the Libby indictment. You have read that havent you. I mean the entire 20 plus pages, not some wacko decides to excerpt.

I'm willing to believe it because they listed the people attending the various meetings (Rove, Cheney, Fleischer) and I havent heard a single one deny that. They have Libby's own hand written notes provided to them by his assistant. Are you suggesting his assistant created months worth of hand written notes for his boss to aid the prosecutor or are you suggesting that Libby lied to his notes like the Clinton guy lied to his diary? Also there is paper trail between State Department and Libby and also CIA and Libby.

Even before you get to Russert and all the other journalists, there are plenty of people who are supposed to be on our side that suppposedly testified against Libby. They all made it up to either get themselves off the hook (not likely since our side doesnt do anything wrong) or because we hired traitors who were part of coup attempt (not likely). Might I suggest that Libby panicked and lied and thought he was so smart he could get away with it.

My agenda, none other than I detest people that buy ideology or party over the truth. I have no patience for high paid Washington lawyers who arent smart enough to follow the first advice they would give any of their clients, dont lie and dont get involved in coverup. They almost never succeed.
