Libby not source of leak, Watergate reporter says
Undisclosed official revealed Plame’s identity to Woodward.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Bob Woodward’s version of when and where he learned the identity of a CIA operative contradicts a special prosecutor’s contention that Vice President Dick Cheney’s top aide was the first to make the disclosure to reporters.

So someone please explain to me how this has any effect on the idictment? I don't get it. I was baffled by the media's reports on this, acting like it could get libby off the hook because it doesn't appear to affect the indictment at all.
I understand that, I just don't understand why the poster of this thread and seemingly others think this clears libbyTimmyBoy said:He can still be charged for what he was charged for if he in fact did lie. He doesn't have to be guilty of revealing the identity of the CIA agent, but he can still be found guilty of making false statements or giving false statements. Sometimes friends will cover for their other friends who have committed a crime by lying to investigators or a grand jury, but if you do that, then you will be charged with a crime when your story is not consistent and colloborated with other peoples' testimony or statements.

I was listening to talk radio awhile back and the host was going on and on about things completely irrelevant to the indictment like they were going to clear him.

Amazingly clueless thread! :ws Valerie Wilson's identity has ZERO to do with Libby's indictment.Navy Pride said:Now that Bob Woodward has come forward with this the charges against Scooter Libby should be dropped immediately...

Remember what I told you Navy? Next time you start a thread write the exact opposite of what your basic instincts are telling you to write. Go 180 degrees away from what you "think".
Libby will be tried in a court and then we will know if he is guilty or not. Posting a thread suggesting that because of a secret testimony given by Woodward exonerates Libby or anyone is just plain ignorant.
Tell you what this does raise, however, is WHO TOLD WOODWARD? The rumor mill is that it's Cheney, which has the potential to be a whole new can of worms.
Woodward said he had permission from his source to testify but to not reveal in public who the source is. Sounds to many people like Cheney...
Time will tell, until then we can guess or speculate or whatever.
One thing is for certain, or as Navy likes to say, you can book this: Libby's charges will not be dropped. He will either go to trial or cop a plea.
You know that Scooter wasn't indicted for leaking anything, right? He was indicted for perjury, and considering you've got a stated stance on what should happen to administration officials going all the way to the top when they commit perjury, I don't know how you could possibly claim that Scooter shouldn't be brought up on charges.Navy Pride said:Now that Bob Woodward has come forward with this the charges against Scooter Libby should be dropped immediately...

Navy Pride said:Like Clinton did when he pardoned Mark Rich on the last day of his presidency it would be great to see President Bush pardon Libby if he is ever convicted.....
Would that ever torque the jaws of the left.......:lol:
I heard a lot of pundits on the news say the dems would viciously block Miers confirmation, but she would be confirmed unanimously by the Republicans anyways.Navy Pride said:We shall see what happens my friend.........I have heard a lot of pundits on the news say that the charges against him might be dropped.......
