I’m puzzled. When Karl Rove finally spoke in public about the Plame Affair last week, he said that Armitage was the one who “used her name.” But didn’t Novak look it up in Who’s Who?
Aha. I see you subscribe to the immaculate leak theory of Plameogenesis.
It’s true that Novak started making that claim after the [...]

At Slate, Timothy Noah has written a defense of Bush’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s jail sentence that is riddled with errors, fallacies, and non-sequiturs. To wit:
1. Noah says that Libby “probably didn’t understand that Plame’s identity was a government secret.” In fact, in Libby’s indictment, we read that:
Shortly after publication of the article in The [...]

Today at the White House press briefing, I got into a somewhat heated (on my part) dispute with John Gizzi, political editor of the right wing web magazine HumanEvents.com. It happened like this…
Earlier in the briefing, the press was asking Tony Snow some pretty good questions about Bush’s commutation yesterday of Scooter Libby’s prison sentence. [...]

Tim Russert cemented his reputation as the Bruce Strauss of Washington journalism during his testimony at the Scooter Libby trial. During Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press, he gave other, lesser journalistic lights the opportunity to demean the profession each in their own imitable ways.
The Politico’s Roger Simon grabbed most of the attention from [...]

Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller was on the stand at the Lewis “Scooter” Libby trial today.

Plame-At-A-Glance™ condenses the whole Plame Affair down to one easy-to-understand flow chart…

Former Time Magazine reporter John Dickerson had a big day at the Lewis “Scooter” Libby trial. On February 7 of last year Dickerson wrote a two-part story for Slate called “Where’s My Subpoena?” The story was his take on both why his name surfaced in connection with special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation into who blew [...]

Tim Russert became the first press casualty of the Lewis “Scooter” Libby trial on Thursday, but most of his colleagues neglected to report it**. The host of NBC’s “Meet the Press” was identified, in evidence submitted to bolster the testimony of Dick Cheney aide Cathie Martin, as the vice president’s platform of choice to push [...]

Much attention was paid yesterday to the introduction of Bush capo Karl Rove as the villain behind Lewis “Scooter” Libby’s legal predicament. A Google News search for the names of the two men returned some 1500 results (and counting). But don’t be fooled: Libby v. Rove is a sideshow aimed at diverting the jury’s attention [...]

Every high profile criminal trial seems to spawn a raft of books, and the Lewis “Scooter” Libby proceeding is certain to do the same. Although the legal question at issue is whether Dick Cheney’s former top aide lied to investigators and a grand jury about his role in outing former CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame, [...]

Media Bloggers Association president Robert Cox has secured press credentials to be shared among members of the organization during the upcoming perjury trial of Dick Cheney’s top assistant, Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
