-- It is a proven and admitted (by Armitage) fact that it was Richard Armitage who "leaked" Plame's status, but you know that. --

Yes. But that's not relevant to the issue at Libby's trial. The question at Libby's trial was, at the time he gave testimony to the investigators, did he know Plame worked at the CIA.

The question and evidence about telling reporters was adduced to get to the root question, did he know Plame worked at the CIA?

As far as leakers go, it is possible for there to be multiple leakers. IF (and this wasn't) the leak was of protected information, the fact that one person leaks it does not immunize everybody else.

-- Libby should have never been in front of that Grand Jury --

That was a political calculation by Bush, to appoint a special prosecutor. If Libby had come clean up front, Bush and Cheney would have had good information, and could have made a different decision how to handle the situation.

Anyway, I don;t want to rehash the case. We're both entrenched, and I don;t want to diminish any goodwill you might have toward me on account of this disagreement.

I just watched a FoxNews report that referenced the subject article of this thread. Reporter stated experts concluded person crying out for help “could not be Zimmerman” but rather was a young boy. The reporting on this shooting has been horrible. I’ve delt personally with reporters before and they often get minor details a little wrong but this is crazy.

I wouldn’t worry about that. Your posts are well reasoned and well stated. I don’t have a problem with disagreement, and I understand your viewpoint on this perfectly.

It has become emotional rather than rational with me at this point.
