<< "Perhaps I'm misreading that article, but it might suggest that there were people within the administration who didn't want Libby to know that Armitage was the leak." >> It's pretty clear now that Powell & Armitage (perhaps a few others in the State Dept) knew & chose not to inform the WH. Why they didn't is a good question to ask. You may want to read Oeconomicus post from the WaPo. IMO, once the Justice Dept. learned the so-called "leak" came from Armitage, who opposed the war & was clearly no insider at the WH, the investigation should have folded like a lawn chair.

Libby Jury Shenanigans John Hawkins Right Wing News "Denis Collins, the Libby juror who said that politics played no role in the verdict, has published his diary of the trial, available exclusively at…the Huffington Post." -- Byron York PS: The account is 7900 words, which would seem to suggest he was working on it during the trial since it's highly improbable that he churned out that much copy since the verdict was in yesterday. PS #2: You can read the account here. huffingtonpost.com Wonder if he cut a deal with the Huffington Post to do the diary before or after the trial was over? PS #3: My buddy E. M. Zanotti, who is a law student, tells me that this post appearing today would only be grounds for an appeal if the writer and Ariana had contact before the trial was over to set up a paid post. But, whether this guy started working on this post before the trial was over and whether he got paid has no impact on the appeal. rightwingnews.com corner.nationalreview.com corner.nationalreview.com conservativeprincess.mu.nu
