On July 23, 2004 you had 16 conversation with 12 different people.
I want you in a legal proceesing to tell us everything you said to those 12 people, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Can you do it?
Can you remember to whom you talked and what you said 3 years ago?
Probably not.
The jury is still out (as far as I know) in the trial of Libby, VP Cheney's former chief of staff. Libby is accused of a couple of things: not telling the FBI the truth about conversations he had with media types; and, some other charge I cannot remember at this time.
Libby claims he did not remember the events and what he said to certain journalists about the so-called Valerie Plame Affair. What baffles me is there was no crime committed in this sordid affair since Plame was not undercover, not a secret agent, but a simple desk jockey at the CIA. Besides, we know, and the Special Prosecutor (SP) knew in advance of bringing charges, that Richard Armitage at the State Dept was the person to "leak" Plame's name to the media first.
So why did the SP bring the charges against Libby.
Well, he spent a lot of money and needed at least one scalp to display on his legal belt. Besides, VP Cheney was the favorite whipping boy for every journalist and talking head in the Boston-New York-Washington corridor. The SP was urged and urged to get someone; someone close to Cheney, if not Cheney, and Bush (hopefully Rove) for this heinous crime.
Such is justice in Washington, DC.

I have said for the last six and a half years that "the enemy" is here in America. This enemy is comprised of those who do and say anything for money, who did not support the US effort in Iraq; lazy Americans who could care less about anything but themselves and are always willing to let Sgt. "George" do it as far as preserving freedom.
I agree there are too many Americans who take our freedoms for granted. These self centered people never serve in the military for the common good and are quick to criticize those who do volunteer to protect the nation. It's a shame.
