re: This puzzles me. Why on earth did Libby's lawyer do this? He was busily building a case that Bush could reasonably preemptively pardon Libby for national security reasons, and now this. Now if Bush pardons him, it will look like what it is, an attempt at damage control. So now it has to go to trial. I don't know. I think theres a bigger part that we don't know than the part that we do know. What's Fitz up to still with a GJ?

"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." This puzzles me. Why on earth did Libby's lawyer do this? He was busily building a case that Bush could reasonably preemptively pardon Libby for national security reasons, and now this. Now if Bush pardons him, it will look like what it is, an attempt at damage control. So now it has to go to trial. Maybe Libby was sitting on something bigger.......so it was his attorney's attempt at damage control.
