Thomas, Sowell misleadingly portrayed Libby ind ... [Media Matters]

Thomas, Sowell misleadingly portrayed Libby ind ... [Media Matters]: "Thomas, Sowell misleadingly portrayed Libby indictment as case of bad 'recollection'

In recent articles, syndicated columnists Cal Thomas and Thomas Sowell both misleadingly dismissed the indictment of I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, as a simple matter of differing recollections. In fact, the indictment on two counts of perjury, one count of obstruction of justice, and two counts of making false statements alleges that Libby falsely told a federal grand jury and FBI investigators that he learned from reporters that Valerie Plame (the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV) worked for the CIA. Contrary to Libby's assertion, the indictment alleges that Libby had nine separate discussions with various government officials about Plame, many taking place before his first conversation with reporters on the subject"

Gee, I bet he remembers the digits for his Swiss accounts. Oopps, forgot that little treason thing...
