Let's Get Ready To Russert! "In a brutally devastating but gentlemanly low key way the defense destroyed a key prosecution witness." - Clarice Feldman
The defense showed through an examination of the internal Time emails and documents that the story that brought Matt Cooper into this, "A War on Wilson?" was something concocted out of thin air. And, one juror asked about Plame: "She's not part of this case." - Judge Walton Not part of the case? Go figure. Nothing Miller says contradicts Libby's version. Wells will ask that the Miller related part of the obstruction charge be dropped because there was no evidence offered to support it. The obstruction charge is the one that carries the heaviest penalty. CHARGE: (paragraph 32(c)) LIBBY advised Judith Miller of the New York Times on or about July 12, 2003 that he had heard that other reporters were saying that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA but LIBBY did not know whether that assertion was true.

Wilson was not sent at the "behest" of the vice president; he did not refute, but rather supported, the existing intelligence that Iraq was seeking uranium in Niger; his report never made it to the vice president. 2. Judy Miller cannot remember the names of the people she went to jail for - 85 days in hell! 3. The SSCI discredited Wilson - the 9/11 Commission confirmed the pre-war intel estimates were not manipulated by the WH; and the British Butler Commission concluded that the Brit intel that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa was based on sound analysis and not cooked up either.
