Also, I wonder why Libby chose a Democrat to defend him in such a politically charged case? I don't think I would have entrusted this case to a Dem. His opening statement was very odd and his jury selection clearly less than stellar. Libby's lawyer Ted Wells:

Theodore V. Wells Jr.: Wells is a hard-hitting litigator ... Wells has worked for Bradley on two of Bradley's Senate campaigns and also worked for Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J. Wells was general counsel to the New Jersey Democratic Party and the New Jersey NAACP. He graduated from Princeton University as an undergraduate and received both business and law degrees from Harvard University. Bradley has also drawn upon Wells' experiences and perspectives on race in America, but Wells, who is black, serves the campaign primarily as its treasurer.

He's an excellent, high-caliber attorney, with decades of a sterling track record. I don't believe for a minute that any partisanship on his part played any part in his defense.
