Libby was convicted of two counts of making false statements when 
interviewed by federal investigators, and two counts of perjury in his 
testimony before the grand jury.  Why did he do that?  One of his false 
claims was that Tim Russert told him about Plame, but Libby had talked 
with several other people about Plame before talking to Russert. 
Apparently, Cheney had told Libby before Libby talked to Russert, but this 
is one of the things that Libby claims not to recall.

Libby's was the first indictment of a sitting White House official in 130 
years and it happened with a Republican Executive, Republican House and 
Republican Senate.  I think there is something to it.

Mike
