The betting I hear right now is that Libby won't testify. Wells has, apparently, used that tactic in similar past cases. As far as Cheney is concerned, I'm not certain what is going on. I'm where you are, however. It would be very interesting to hear what happens if Fitzgerald cross examines Cheney.

>>I will be interested to see the extent to which Libby is prepared to implicate his boss. It would be hard to work for Cheney unless you were willing to do what you are told. I have a hard time imagining Cheney tolerating a loose cannon. I have a hard time imagining that Libby did anything more than he was asked to do. That won't get him off the hook, but it might shift the spotlight -- that is if he is willing to do that.<< GST - Yes, Libby could employ the Nuremburg defense - "I was only following orders." As you say, it wouldn't help him, but would certainly illuminate the roles of others. It would be nice to see Cheney get his just desserts. - Allen
