“Mr. Libby’s story that he was at the end of a chain of phone calls was not true. It was false. He was at the beginning of a chain of phone calls” that disclosed Plame’s identity. He lied repeatedly about this under oath.
Question: Will there be any more charges. Fitzgerald: “Substantial bulk of the work is completed.” This is followed by an extended baseball analogy that amounts to: Why did Libby do what he did? We needed to find out.
Question: Any evidence that Dick Cheney encouraged Libby? Fitzgerald: There are no allegations against anyone else, so we have no comment about that. That’s standard practice.
Question: So who leaked Plame’s name to Robert Novak? Fitzgerald: Sorry, we’re not going to tell you. That’s just the way it goes. If we don’t bring charges, we don’t say anything.
Question: What about Karl Rove? Fitzgerald: “We either charge someone or we don’t talk about them.” Sorry.
Question: Was it worth it to put Judith Miller in jail for 85 days? Fitzgerald: We didn’t want a fight with the New York Times. But we showed our evidence to a judge, and the judge agreed. The appellate court agreed. Can’t charge someone with perjury regarding a conversation without finding out from the witnesses involved whether the alleged conversation actually took place. If you don’t talk to the eyewitnesses, that’s “reckless.” Miller and Cooper could have exonerated Libby, after all.
Question: Did Libby know that Plame was covert? Fitzgerald: He’s not saying whether Plame was covert. Only saying that her association with the CIA was classified. Not saying anything about whether Libby leaked the name of a covert agent.

It is clear that when a United States Congressman sends a couple lawyers to a TV Station like KY3 and tells them not to run a commercial—that we have a real problem with FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
The following complaint has been sent via e-mail on October 28, 2005 to the Federal Communication Commission.
According to AMY, a supervisor I spoke with on the telephone, an e-mail complaint can be sent to the Enforcement Bureau at fccinfo@fcc.gov
We are asking for a complete investigation of the matter including whether U. S. Congressman paid with TAXPAYER MONIES—lawyers to “stop the airing of TV commercials he did not like.”
