The Plame Game

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.
