The Libby circus

Yikes, the Libby case is a circus, (here) and sadly, it was hardly Nuremberg once Fitzgerald knew that Richard Armitage had told reporters (aka, "leaked") the fact that Mr. Valerie Plame's wife--a CIA employee, had gotten him the Nihjair gig. (Read the article, and be sure not to miss the smoking gun!/"cryptic message" Libby sent to reporter Judith Miller.)

Accordingly, there was no intent to "out" anyone and after all this time/expense all Fitzgerald has to show for it is someone who misremembered or even "lied" about an immaterial issue (note before flaming: "immaterial" has a legal meaning).

Cheney's going down

So what if Cheney told Libby one element of their response to Wilson's political attack?

But, I'll play along.

Whom do you think Dubya should appoint to replace him?

probably Condi or Jeb
