the end of the beginning…

Posted on Wednesday 7 February 2007

Libby’s Story: Although Vice President Cheney mentioned that Joseph Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, worked for the C.I.A. in the Counterproliferation Division on June 12th, Libby forget all about it until Tim Russert mentioned it on July 11th in a phone call. After that, he confirmed he’d heard it with Matthew Cooper [and Judith Miller?].

The Story so far in the Trial: So far, we’ve heard from any number of people that Libby not only knew about Valerie Plame, he was actively researching the matter, and spreading the word.

Today, after the rest of the tapes of Libby’s Grand Jury testimony, we hear what Tim Russert has to say about things. That’s the Prosecution’s case. You can follow it on Firedoglake. Then we move on to the Defense, the beginning of the end…
