LOL, you had better read the legal definition of perjury. Before you go
wetting yourself with excitement, I'd point out, Libby is still facing
30 years and the investigation is just getting deeper. More charges
may, in fact, be coming as a result of Woodward's testimony, but I
seriously doubt that they will be against Pincus.


Why not? Pincus's testimony directly refutes Woodward's testimony.


One, it takes more than one person's testimony against another for it to
be perjury.


How about the testimony of two different people?

Libby testified that Russert told him "all the reporters knew" about
Wilson's wife.

Woodward testified that he discussed Plame's identity with Pincus 1 month
before the name was made public.

Which means that both Libby and Woodward's testimonies refute Pincus's
deposition.


There is a reason for this. In the above, Pincus could be
lying, but then, Woodward could be lying, but most likely, neither is
lying. Faulty memory is not perjury.


LOL. Libby says that he heard about Plame's wife from reporters. Maybe he
heard it from Cheney? Maybe he heard it from Cooper? Maybe his memory is
faulty? Subpoena Pincus's notes and see if his current recollection
coincides with the notes he gathered back when he was writing about the
Niger document in May 2003.





This article doesn't change anything. The investigation continues, and,
no doubt, there will be more "revelations". Perhaps, you do not remember
Watergate, but it was a step-by-step unfolding. I read this article as
meaning, the investigation is getting larger, not smaller. For instance,
I'm sure Fitzgerald knows who all those "unnamed officials" are. We
don't.


But if exposing the name isn't a crime, then there can't be any indictments
for that. All Fitzgerald can do now is indict people who lied to him or the
grand jury. Did Cheney testify? If not, and if he's the leak, then there's
no crime.




It has been rumored, that at least two officials are working with
Fitzgerald. He's running a tight ship, as he should, and Woodward's
testimony adds to the jigsaw puzzle. This is just more reason to believe
this investigation is not over.


I hope it continues. Afterall, if Pincus and Russert lied, then what was
there motive for doing so?
