Libby on the offensive

WOW Libby is back in the news - This just a clip of the total article but if you can, go to the site for the complete reading.

It is as I thought, it was a sham by the liberals to destroy anyone that they can using any tool at their disposal including disinformation and out right lies. But this is nothing new as that is all they have ever had. If it weren't for having someone to try and destroy, they wouldn't have a job -

Libby will now go on the offensive.

I wonder what will happen to the struggle between Tom Delay and Ronnie Earl - ?


Scooter Libby Meets the Press May 3rd, 2006

We have just been granted a window on the struggle between Lewis Scooter Libby and the elite media over his access to their internal documents. Libby is charged with federal crimes because his versions of conversations with reporters differ from the accounts of the media people. He seeks evidence from their files about what they knew and what they privately wrote at the time. In a he said/she said confrontation, access to supporting evidence becomes critical to the ability to mount a defense.

Late Monday night Libby filed a Motion in Response to the medias efforts to quash his subpoenas for documents in their possession. At last, after a three year one-sided smear campaign by the elite media and by an unsupervised and careless Special Counsel, Libby gets to show us the flimsiness of the case against him.

He also shows us the considerable embarrassment facing pillars of the media establishment and the utter un-tenability of any further claims for press privilege. Given what these pleadings reveal, a testimonial privilege for reporters would amount to a figurative license to kill those with whom they have political or other disagreements.

Should this go to trial, the press will suffer a crippling blow to whatever credibility they still have, and Libby will be proven to have been the victim of political opponents and an out-of-control prosecution.

The pleadings are reprinted in .pdf form here and here. Because the Motion is reproduced in two parts, to avoid confusion, any page citations will be to those in the original pleading, not to the pdf pagination.
