Kind of an annoying indictment. Other than mentioning that the purpose of the grand jury was to investigate possible violations of Title 50, Section 421 and Title 18, Section 793 (two laws making it a crime to reveal confidential information) the indictments do not adress these issues at all.

All five charges are just iterations from the same set of lies (he misrepresented his reaction on Meet the Press and that he told Miller and Cooper that other reporters were saying that Plame was his wife or ). Interesting reading, but doesn't address any of the interesting questions. It does not at all address whether Libby knew Plame was classified, though it does seem to accept that such knowledge would make the case a crime (something that many watchers do not agree with).

Interesting reading.

A former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney told a federal grand jury that his superiors authorized him to give secret information to reporters as part of the Bush administration's defense of intelligence used to justify invading Iraq, according to court papers.

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said in documents filed last month that he plans to introduce evidence that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Cheney's former chief of staff, disclosed to reporters the contents of a classified National Intelligence Estimate in the summer of 2003.
