Joe diGenova just ripped Fitzgerald a new a-hole. Joe stated that Justice Department rules require that if a key fact that a Prosecutor bases his case on proves out to be false, the Prosecutor is required to determine if it causes a reasonable doubt on the case...and if so, the charges must be withdrawn. In Fitz's press conference, he states as a key fact that Libby was the first one to discuss Plame to a reporter. So Fitz was saying there was no way Libby could have heard of Plame from a reporter. Now, with Woodward's testimony, we know that at least one reporter knew of Plame before Libby spoke with a reporter about it. In fact Woodward had on a question list for Libby in June to ask about Wilson's wife. Woodward can not recall if he asked Libby, but Woodward's notes show that Libby did NOT bring up Plame with him.

Woodward's testimony has a huge impact on Fitzgerald's claims and case.

Sigh....you all really have to actually read the indictment and not just press accounts of it. It is independent of whether or not Plame was or was not covert. It all deals with contradictory statements under oath. Even if both claims were false he still has a case.
