Why I'm sure Scooter Libby is one of the Plame leakers

[Sliverofhope]

Check Wilson's book description at amazon.com. He mentions Libby's name in a list of the usual suspects, and Libby is not as well known as Wolfowitz, Cheney, Perle, Rumsfeld, et al. A tiny signal, perhaps? Don't forget, the Wilson book is coming out at the end of this month.

And if memory serves me, doesn't the book mention the leakers by name?

1. i hope so, but

can they sue him for libel if he can't prove it?

2. Burden of proof is on them. n/t

3. They wouldn't.

The Valerie Plame scandal has fallen to the wayside, and the Bush administration wants to keep it there. A lawsuit would only bring it back into the limelight.

4. You can sue anybody you want to

but they wouldn't win this one because everybody mentioned is a public figure.

Otherwise, the Clintons would have had plenty of actionable statements against the right during the nineties.
