Libby Tells Feds He Met With Judy Miller

According to Murray Waas, Lewis Libby has admitted to federal investigators that he met with Judy Miller two days after Ambassador Wilson published his op-ed criticizing Bush's justification for the Iraqi invasion. Wonder if Libby also admitted that he was one of her sources.

Waas' column is a good refresher course in this ever evolving mystery.

Murray Waas at the American Prospect:


"Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, has told federal investigators that he met with New York Times reporter Judith Miller on July 8, 2003, and discussed CIA operative Valerie Plame, according to legal sources familiar with Libby's account.

The meeting took place in Washington, D.C., six days before columnist Robert Novak wrote his now-infamous column unmasking Plame as a "CIA operative."

The new disclosure that Miller and Libby met on July 8, 2003, raises questions regarding claims by President Bush that he and everyone in his administration have done everything possible to assist Fitzgerald's grand-jury probe."
