PLAME UPDATE: Just got this press release from the folks at Time: Instapundit Contact: Diana Pearson, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tues., Aug. 24, 2004 I. Lewis Libby Waives Confidentiality TIME Reporter Gives Deposition to Special Counsel New York -- TIME magazine announced today that its reporter, Matthew Cooper, has given a deposition to Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald in connection with the leak investigation involving Valerie Plame. Mr. Cooper, who has been held in contempt of court for refusing to disclose his confidential sources, agreed to give a deposition because the one source specifically asked about by the Special Counsel, I. Lewis Libby, the vice president's chief of staff, gave a personal waiver of confidentiality for Mr. Cooper to testify. Mr. Libby also gave TIME permission to release this information to the public. The deposition, which took place yesterday in the Washington, D.C. office of Mr. Cooper's attorney, Floyd Abrams, focused entirely on conversations Mr. Cooper had with Mr. Libby, one of Mr. Cooper's sources for the articles he helped author about the leak in July 2003. Following the deposition, the contempt orders against both Time Inc. and Mr. Cooper were vacated. # # # Waived confidentiality, eh? Interesting. I don't pretend to understand what's going on here, but I have a feeling we're moving toward some sort of a conclusion.

Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh, speaking moments ago on “Hannity and Colmes”: “George Bush betrayed his country by sending us to war on false pretenses, and George Bush betrayed his country by not fighting in Vietnam.” Yes. You read that right. “George Bush betrayed his country by not fighting in Vietnam.” We have 9,087,000 Vietnam era vets who served. 2,594,000 of them served in Vietnam. What the hell are we going to do with other 6,493,000 American Vietnam era Vets who betrayed their <and our> country by not fighting in Vietnam? I'll tell you what I think we should do with them. We should let each and everyone of them know that John Kerry just slammed their honorable service in the same way he slammed the guys who were sent to Nam. For good measure, we should let every man and women, serving in our Armed Forces overseas now, know that they should expect an equivalent slam when they come home. And, of course, we should let those who have not gone to Iraq and Afghanistan know that Kerry believes they are betraying their country. Talk about self-inflicted wounds. Kerry's staff continues to force him to commit suicide one finger nail at a time. This one may cost him a whole arm. unclewest
