How To Prove Libby's Lying


It's really simple.

Demand that his office staffers, secretaries, and random interns produce Libby's phone logs and daily schedules from 2001 to the present.

The problem: Vice President Dick Cheney has suddenly decided that the public doesn't have the right to know who even works in his office.

Gee, I wonder why.

According to Libby's testimony, during two volatile weeks in July 2003, Cheney and Bush were the only people who knew the president apparently had authorized Libby to use portions of the NIE. Left in the dark were many aides, including then-White House chief of staff Andrew H. Card Jr., then-CIA Director George J. Tenet, and then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.

In response to methodical questioning by Fitzgerald during two grand jury appearances in March 2004, Libby said that he did not remember discussing Plame with a former CIA official, Robert Grenier. Two weeks ago, Grenier testified that Libby telephoned him out of the blue to ask about a CIA-sponsored mission to the African nation of Niger -- and was so eager to find out that he called back three hours later and pulled Grenier out of a meeting with Tenet.

Similarly, former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer has testified that Libby disclosed Wilson's wife's identify to him over a lunch in the White House mess. But in the tapes, Libby told the grand jury, "I do not recall discussing Mr. Wilson's wife at all with Ari." Libby said, however, that he distinctly remembers talking with Fleischer about the Miami Dolphins, because it was the only conversation he had that week about the team.

Follow the treachery, folks.

Best bar bet in the world: Delilah didn't do it.
