I love a good underdog story. Lewis Libby is the scapegoat everyone seems to want, but he just won’t stay tied to that stake. The reporters want him to be found guilty without making public statements themselves, and now they’ll have to give make their knowledge public. You have to love it.

The indictment, by treating the small differences in the recollections of the reporters and Libby as evidence of criminality on Libby’s behalf, and by overstating substantially how well-kept a secret Plame’s CIA employment was, left the door wide open for the discovery requests Libby has made. The Prosecutor’s statement at the press conference that Libby was the first in the chain of gossip can only be fully refuted by granting Libby the discovery he seeks, although others like Bob Woodward have already poked holes in that charge.
