It looks like Libby has been indicted for lying to the press and telling the GJ what he told the press. Is it a crime to lie to reporters?

That was my take of it .. which makes no sense .. Does Fitz think Libby should have been truthful to the reporters and outted Plame?

It is not a crime to lie to reporters but it sure is a crime to repeat that lie to the FBI and GJ.

No, Libby was indicted because he lied to the GJ about what he allegedly told to the reporters. The reporters contradicted Libby's account of their conversations with him.
