He was lying about *when* he told people about Plame. He was going

was he telling people about Plame?? What am I getting wrong here?
So? Armitage had already leaked it. Once information is released,
especially in today's "always connected" world, it might as well be on
the front page.
Apparently, Armitage told someone, he didn't do anything, so Libby had to
go around spelling it out for people. Why was he doing that? You say "it
may as well have been on the front page," but it wasn't. It was still
unknown to almost everyone when Libby was telling people about it. The
big question, obviously, is this: Why was Libby doing that? The obvious
answer is that Cheney wanted him to do it.
Do you mean that Libby may still go to prison if the appeal fails?
I would certainly hope not. Ending his political career, probation, and
a decent sized fine should be adequate in my eyes.
Sorry that I can't be understood -- you are saying that it is possible
that Libby will be sentenced to serve a prison sentence if his appeal
fails: Bush has not interfered with the appeal process. You hope not,
but you are saying that you think Bush has not taken that possibility off
the table. I think you are mistaken, but I'm not sure.
The clever way to lie in court is to say that you don't remember.
But you've already stated that you're ok with this...
Oh wait, it's not the "I don't recall" you're ok with, it's the blatant
lying based on a potential difference in semantics.

Is this crazy? Yes, but this is what they did!!
I guess you don't know the difference between "blatant lying" and truthful
answering. This bothers you a lot, I think, and causes you to bang your
hands on the table, your face all red. That's how it goes. Welcome to
the US legal system.
It's funny that a programmer doesn't get it. It's kinda like the student
who complains about a program not working: "Well, yes, I left off the
semicolon, but why can't the computer figure that out? That was obviously
what I meant!" Courts are like computers.
