Comments on: A Good Opening Day For The Libby Defense http://informedspeculation.com/2007/02/12/a-good-opening-day-for-the-libby-defense/ Refunds Cheerfully Given To All Who Disagree Sat, 07 Apr 2012 09:00:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Mike http://informedspeculation.com/2007/02/12/a-good-opening-day-for-the-libby-defense/comment-page-1/#comment-235036 Mike Tue, 13 Feb 2007 15:34:54 +0000 http://decision08.net/2007/02/12/a-good-opening-day-for-the-libby-defense/#comment-235036 Maybe many witnesses have condradicted Libby. But they are also contradicting themselves. I think this story was concocted by the media and it has back fired. Russert, Andrea Mitchell, Judy Miller, David Gregg....all of them. Mealy mouthed and slimy merchants of trash. Their overzealous pursuit of the extremely flawed Bush administration got them caught up in a mess the particpiated in a helped create. This is a classic case of people getting caught talking behid someone's back and out of school. Maybe many witnesses have condradicted Libby. But they are also contradicting themselves.

This is a classic case of people getting caught talking behid someone’s back and out of school.

The moon was blue last night, therefore Dick Cheney is Satan... ...and Cheney didn't say that the OVP was a fourth branch of government. What he actually said was that liberals were so stupid that a fourth of them couldn't name one branch of the government if they had a copy of the constitution in their left hand and David Souter's crotch in their right. Man, that Cheney is brutal. If you ignore the facts of the case, you can draw any conclusion from it that you’d like.

Are they proven? No: the verdict is not in. That's why this is all hypothetical. My point is only that if there is a conviction, it points strongly to subornation of perjury by the Vice President.

We know that Cheney instructed Libby to leak parts of the NIE to Judith Wilson in an effort to discredit Wilson. Is it your contention that Cheney did not know that Libby would reveal Valerie Plame's identity to the press? We know that Libby and Cheney discussed Valerie Plame’s identity before it was leaked.
