Libby May Not Testify...
'It's official. Scooter Libby may not testify at his trial. His lawyers filed a brief tonight (pdf) in connection with yet another sealed request for classified materials, trying to convince the court that Libby's memory failure defense -- the part that is based on how busy he was due to the urgent national security matters he was involved in -- should come into evidence even if he doesn't take the stand. They say that making him testify in order to present his memory defense would force him to choose between his 5th Amendment right to remain silent and his 6th Amendment right to counsel.'
