Judith Miller can now remember details of a meeting that at first could not even remember having. Hmmmm......

"In his most telling foray, Jeffress asked how she could testify that Libby was agitated on June 23 when she couldn't even remember the meeting in her first grand jury testimony. He played a tape of a broadcast interview in which she had said "it's really easy to forget details of a story you're not writing." She testified she never intended to write a Plame story herself.

Miller mostly held firm. Acknowledging her memory "is mostly note-driven," she insisted that rereading the notes "bought back these memories" of the June 23 meeting."

I still say to Mr. Fitzfong, if a crime was not committed, who cares about all of this?

Reading it!!!

I haven't checked, but hopefully you could find the same story from other sources you like better. You will still need to know how to read though, instead of simply watching. Forget fiction and movies for a while, Piffka, this is news that you can read, not watch.

Okie, the last time I looked it is a serious crime to lie to a grand jury and obstruct justice.

BTW, Fitz has so much other evidence of little Scooter's guilt, he really doesn't need Judith Miller.

Can't be too serious, Slick Willy never got any jail time.

How come Judith Miller wasn't accused of lying to the Grand Jury when she did not recall the first meeting the first time she testified? Just a simple question here to try to figure out this court. Is it what you do or who you are when you do it that determines the charges?

The difference being, Fitzgerald knows what he's doing, and Libby is no Clinton.

You guys really don't want to start arguing this again, because it is pretty obvious that the trial isn't going well, and it's going to be embarassing for you when he's convicted.

Embarrassing to who? If he lied, he deserves what he gets. Just like Clinton should have been punished for his lies before the grand jury. After all, "it is a serious crime to lie to a grand jury and obstruct justice. "

Little Scooter's crimes are much more serious. They involve the exposure of a covert CIA agent working in the area of nuclear proliferation.

As I recall, Clinton received a bj in his home from a consenting adult.

Except that intelligent people know the difference between lying about a consentual sexual incounter vs lying about outing a CIA agent. Some people equate stealing a loaf of bread with stealing millions from investors.

Lying is lying .... right, Cyclops?

That's right, lying is lying. The scope of the lie doesn't change the fact that both are equally wrong to do.

We have different punishments based upon different circumstances - a feature of any reasonable justice system - but there is no empirical difference.

I knew I could get you to agree with me on something.

Well, when you start speaking sense... Smile

Have you been following the trial, Tico? It's so hard to see which way it will go. So much of the outcome rests on subjective judgment by the jurors about whether or not Libby forgot an important detail about an important case.

I am a little bit mystified by the Defense's decision to use a two-prong approach - that Libby didn't consider the detail important, but also that he was set up for a fall in order to protect Rove. I didn't see that coming.
