The problem with the Libby case is we KNOW he did it. The Jury has to decide WHY he did it. Bad Memory or Deliberate Obstruction. That's going to be tough.

I don't think he will be found guilty.

It would be a blow to White House transparency if the Kibby case does not shed light on our reasons for going to war. The people think the justification for the war has not been revealed amd will not justify the sacrifice of our soldiers. I watch Hardball daily and appreciate the efforts to shed light on the war.

I'm pleased that progress was made in selecting the jury. It will be fascinating to hear Mr. Fitzgerald's opening statement. I suspect that between now and Tuesday morning, Scooter Libby will feel more alone than he has ever felt in his life.

This case will go a long way in proving or disproving the white house hit list. Even if Libby is found not guility conservatism has suffered a sever blow by this administration and its hard ball politics.

I think the the inditement eas as meaningfull as a comviction in any case like this. It was the firstto touc this administration desoite conitinual mis-cues, mis-steps and more arroganc and less respect for the law then exist in the mind of proffesional criminal.

To Bill Iwamoto: I hate to dissapoint you but, as much as I would like to have those questions answered as well, that is not what this trial is going to be about. This is going to be focused on whether or not Libbly deliberatly lied to investigators as well as a grand jury about what he knew and when he knew it, did he forget or commit perjury. The "I forgot" defense is a very popular one in Washington. As a former general manager of a company, I was given a secretary and a staff to make sure everything was remembered, down to dotting the I's and crossing the T's. I was given the proper tools to do my job, paid well, and "I forgot" was not an acceptable response to my bosses. If Libby is found guilty, I would hope that Fitzgerald will rethink his position of clearing Cheney and Rove, and reopen the broader investigation that could answer some of the questions we all seek answers to. Not doing so would be akin to "sweeping the dirt under the carpet", and giving this administration even more reason to believe they above the law. I'm confident Mr. Fitzgerald is an extremely competant lawyer, I pray he can withstand the pressure that will be brought to bear on him should he make the correct decision to go forward with this. If not, I over rated him, and he isn't serving in the best interest of this country, nor is he living up to the oath he took when first becoming a lawyer. God speed Mr. Fitzgerald. To Mr. D. U. Waterman: If you think Libby will feel lonley, think about what Mr. Fitzgerald has been living for the past 3 plus years. Isolationism.

Before you testify before a Grand Jury under oath, you should take a time-out, review your recollections, your office diary and your notes. If you don't tell the truth to the Grand Jury you can get into big trouble, as Scooter Libby has. The fact that Mr. Libby did not tell the truth more than once to a Grand Jury, makes it being an innocent error almost completely implausible.

Mr. Fitzgerald should hold his head in Shame, His case against Libby does not justify the millions of dollars that he has spent to date. His weak case is no different than the Duke students. He is a deceitful attorney.
