Scooter Libby Love Letters - June 5, 2007
David Frum at David Frum's Diary on National Review Onlinemakes an interesting observation about the letter sent by Paul Wolfowitz .
I also remember how Mr. Libby offered his services pro bono or at reduced costs after he had returned to private law practice - to help former colleagues and friends with legal issues. In one case he helped a public official defend himself against libelous accusations, something that is extremely difficult to do for anyone in public office. The official in question was Richard Armitage :eek: who more recently served as - Deputy Secretary of State.
As we have learned from the trial . Not only was Richard Armitage the leaker that Plame worked for the CIA ,but both he an former Sec. State Colin Powell were aware of that fact at the beginning of the investigation.To add further to this misjustice ;prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was aware of this fact before he even began to question Scooter Libby .
That Armitage and Powell remained silent during this whole affair shows how low they were willing to wallow to get Vice President Cheney .Powell has permanenty soiled his previously fine reputation in my book .Armitage proved he is just pond scum p.o.s. for throwing someone who gave him a hand under the bus.
