New questions in CIA leak probe
Such as "why hasn't Judith Miller been fired?" and "who the #uck does she think she's kidding with that 'I can't remember' bullshit?"

New details about amnesiatic neocon playmate Judy Miller's decision to cooperate in the CIA leak case are raising questions about whether Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney's chief of staff Scooter Libby and his defense lawyer tried to steer the New York Times' WH propagandist's testimony.

Miller said her lawyer Floyd Abrams told her of a conversation Abrams had with Libby's lawyer, Joseph Tate: "He was pressing about what you would say. When I wouldn't give him an assurance that you would exonerate Libby, if you were to cooperate, he then immediately gave me this, 'Don't go there,' or, 'We don't want you there.'"

Fitzgerald is also focusing on whether the Vice President was involved, according to those familiar with the probe, questioning current whether Cheney was behind the effort to discredit the agent's husband, Iraq war critic and former U.S. diplomat Joseph Wilson

Fun fact: 'there is a growing sense among knowledgeable observers that the outcome will involve serious criminal charges. "Fitzgerald is putting together a big case,'' Washington attorney Robert Bennett, who represents Miller, said on the ABC program This Week'' yesterday. White House officials and Bush supporters are fearful that recent developments spell legal jeopardy for [smarmy brownshirted POS Karl]Rove.
