He screwed himself by talking to Matt Cooper IMHO -- that was dumb and to lie to a GJ (if he did) was dumber!
I'm sure Cheney is scared to death.
How is it that Hillary can lie repeatedly under oath and get elected Senator and not face jail time and Libby might get 25 years if found guilty?
And how is it that Berger can steal national security documents and get probation?
I must be living in an alternate universe.
from Joe Yellowcake's Fifteen Minutes of Plame-Fame Are Finished
Ms.Plame has not operated as a covert CIA agent in about nine years. One of her former bosses at the agency said that Ms.Plame made no bones about being a CIA employee - She told friends and neighbors. In fact, reporter Andrea Mitchell noted that "all the journalist knew" Valerie Plame worked for the CIA. If Ms. Plame's CIA status was supposed to be a secret, then it was surely an "open secret".
This is only an accusation....we haven't heard his defense yet.
That's what it sounded like to me. The instances where they say he lied seem laughable to me.
Exactly.
She wasn't covert.
And... NO CONSPIRACY charges.
Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak! Novak!
It amazes me how, on this ONE story, whatever comes out of the mouths of the MSM is taken as Gospel. Solely because folks like what is said.
"COME ON NOVAK, GIVE US WHAT YOU'VE GOT!!!"
So when will Novak be "permitted" to speak?
Aside from this case, I have seen ZERO evidence that she was covert. In fact, I've seen far more evidence that she was not.
Exactly.
Nothing.
Andrea says this is HUGE; get back to me when they catch up with Clinton, Andrea.
Ok- tell me what I'm missing...Libby lied to the GJ in a way - to protect Miller and Cooper ...
The prosecutor begs to differ.
My $$ is on Wilson
I guess we will have to see what Fitzgerald has to say...I had held out hope that he wouldn't be a man who could ignore the source.
He should have resigned earlier IMHO -- he knew what he did and to stay makes his boss look bad. There is more to this story then is coming out but somehow I don't think Libby made a good decision at all.
Maybe this will be a lesson to those in the WH -- don't talk to RAT reporters that are married to Clintonties. They have been playing nice with the reporters and RATs for way too long and it bit them.
