Fitzgerald's press briefing
He appears to be a bright lawyer. He rejects that the indictment has anything whatsoever to do with the war in Iraq and the reasons for going to war. People who try to read Iraq issues into the indictment will be frustrated.
Apparently Libby repeated the testimony he deems false on two occassions. The perjury charge came in his response to a question from a grand juror.
He tamps down the speculation on what additional charges if any might come. All agencies cooperated with the investigation. He experienced no political interference.
He is much more articulate than the reporters asking the questions.
He seemed to be arguing at one point that the disclosure of Plame's name would make it harder to recruit CIA agents. I find that contention dubious, but if true, she and her husband would be equally guilty. There is already evidence that her position had been compromised by CIA turncoats who had identifier her as an agent in the sale of information to the Soviets.
