I love this pic/headline on MSNBC:


Woodward, Novak testify in Libby perjury trial
Defense attorneys cast Libby as White House scapegoat

WASHINGTON - Some of the nation's best-known journalists testified Monday about news leaks in the Bush administration as attorneys for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby tried to cast the former White House aide as a scapegoat in the CIA case.

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, is accused of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

Using reporters as their first batch of witnesses, Libby's attorneys tried to show that the administration was leaking from several sources. And when Libby had the opportunity to leak himself, they said, he did not.

1. But that's not the issue
The question was whether he lied under oath about what he knew.

5. That's just it, as the media and the regime spin this as a trial about the leak
They will eat each other like the sharks they are and expose more of the scandal while Libby goes down in flames anyway.

The spin is going to bite them in the ass this time.
