Libby's defense team requested:
"5. All document, regardless of when created, relating to whether Valerie Wilson's status as a CIA employee, or any aspect of that status, was classified at any time between May 6, 2003 and July 14, 2003."

That a request that Fitz has said "we don't have that stuff, because we didn't ask the CIA for it." Plus, says Fitz, it isn't relevant to the "did Libby lie to investigators" case.

I agree that Libby has a good defense team, and apparantly plenty of cash to fund the defense. To the extent he can turn the trial into a "outing the covert agent" trial in the mind of the jury, it's to his advantage. "She wasn't covert, therefore there was no crime, therefore this was a bogus investigation, therefore even if I did lie to investigators, I should not be held to account."

I heard there will be a website soon. I told my kid no b-day gifts this year...instead he will be giving to the defense of a man who is much more wealthy than his daddy will ever be!
