Reporter's Account Hurts Libby Defense Miller Testifies of White House Aide's Unmasking of Agent
By Carol D. Leonnig and Amy Goldstein Washington Post Staff Writers Wednesday, January 31, 2007; Page A01
Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller yesterday helped the prosecutor who landed her in jail and forced her into the witness chair, providing potentially damaging information about the confidential administration source she tried to shield, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Deliberately and sometimes defensively offering her account in Libby's perjury trial, Miller told the jury that "a very irritated and angry" Libby told her in a confidential conversation on June 23, 2003, that the wife of a prominent critic of the Iraq war worked at the CIA. Libby had told investigators he believed he first learned that information from another journalist nearly three weeks later -- the assertion at the core of the charges against him.

"Outside legal specialists said that Libby's attorneys appear to have concluded that the risks of exposing the defendant and the vice president to cross-examination on the witness stand outweighed the benefits they could provide in establishing Libby's innocence."
Ehrlich, wer hätte auch nur einen Dollar wetten wollen, dass die beiden in den Zeugenstand treten würden? R.r
