Plame Gossip - CIA officials to testify against Libby

Libby is just cooked.

Both CIA officials - including a top architect of the 2003 Iraq invasion - discussed Plame with Libby a month before columnist Robert Novak blew her cover in July 2003, prosecutors charge.

Libby has said journalists told him about Plame - not Cheney or the six witnesses named so far by prosecutors.

His perjury defense is that he forgot these half dozen conversations about a matter that was clearly on his desk daily during this time. At least six witnesses, including two high ranking CIA officials told him about Plame's status a month before he claims he "relearned" it from reporters. (Not to mention the mounting documentary evidence.)

That's a whole lot of evidence against the "I forgot" perjury defense.

That Fitzgerald sure builds a fine case, eh?
