Questioned by prosecutor Fitzgerald, Miller offered a vivid description of Libby's state of mind. "Mr. Libby appeared to me to be agitated and frustrated and angry," she testified. "He is a very low key and controlled guy, but he seemed annoyed." "Did he indicate what he was annoyed at?" Fitzgerald asked. "He was concerned that the CIA was beginning to backpedal to try to distance itself from the unequivocal intelligence estimates it had provided before the war," Miller said. She told the jurors that Libby had called the CIA's action "a perverted war of leaks." And then, Miller said, Libby brought up the subject of Joseph Wilson's trip to Africa. At the time, Wilson was still criticizing the administration anonymously, and no one in the general public knew who he was. Miller testified that Libby at first referred to Wilson as the "clandestine guy" and only later began to call him by name. "He said the vice president did not know that Mr. Wilson had been sent on this trip," Miller testified. She said Libby assured her that Dick Cheney did not know of Wilson and "did not get a readout" on Wilson's findings. As "an aside," Miller said, Libby mentioned that Wilson's wife "worked in the bureau." At first, Miller recalled, she was confused What bureau? The FBI? but later "it became clear that he was referring to the CIA." Miller told the jury that Libby did not treat Wilson's role, or the fact that his wife worked for the CIA, as a big deal. "He said that people were beginning to focus on Mr. Wilson, but that Mr. Wilson was a ruse that's the word he used an irrelevancy," Miller testified. By that, Libby apparently meant that Wilson was just one small part of a much bigger story, which was the intensifying war between the CIA and the White House over Iraq intelligence. "Mr. Libby seemed really unhappy and irritated," Miller said. "He accused the CIA of leaking information that would attempt to distance the agency from its earlier estimates. He said that nobody had ever come to the White House from the CIA and said, 'Mr. President, this is not right.' He felt that if the CIA had had such doubts, they should have shared them with the president." On 1/31/07, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Good, I thought I had it about right.
