		Libby is also one of the White House's foreign policy advisers, holding also a title of "Assistant to the President", and his name had been on the short list of possible replacements for National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.

	cbs5.com - Profile: Indicted White House Staffer Lewis Libby
		Lewis "Scooter" Libby quietly rose to the highest corridors of power in Washington only to be brought down in a scandal that thrust him into the limelight that he so explicitly avoided.
		Libby was known as "Cheney's Cheney." Just as President Bush has Cheney as his behind-the-scenes adviser and problem-solver, Cheney had Libby as his trusted right-hand man. "Scooter is to Cheney as Cheney is to Bush," former Cheney aide Mary Matalin said.
		Libby's nickname, a bit incongruous for such a powerful Washington figure, was given to Libby by his father when as a baby he would "scoot" from place to place.

		Lewis “Scooter” Libby served as Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff from 2001 until October 2005, when he was indicted in connection with the federal probe into the leaking of the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame and resigned.
		Libby was closely associated with the neoconservative clique that was instrumental in shaping the foreign policy of the Bush administration in the wake of 9/11.
		Before former State Department official Richard Armitage acknowledged in September 2006 that he was the source of the leak, both Libby and the president's Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove were frequently rumored to have been the initial source of the leak.

	The Left Coaster: Treasongate: Lewis Libby and Judith Miller
		Libby, the source familiar with his account said, told her that the White House was working with the CIA to find out more about Wilson's trip and how he was selected.
		Libby had a second conversation with Miller on July 12 or July 13, the source said, in which he said he had learned that Wilson's wife had a role in sending him on the trip and that she worked for the CIA.
		Libby's claim that he heard that Wilson's wife played a role in Joseph Wilson's trip, but that he did not (initially) know her name or occupation, is implausible and reflects a convenient, fake cover story.

		Libby was able to research 1903 Japan, which was the slice of time between the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War that he had decided should be the backdrop for his novel.

		According to Libby's attorney, Theodore Wells, Woodward's disclosure is a "bombshell" that "undermines the prosecution" because it disproves special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's alleged contention that Libby was the first senior administration official to reveal to a reporter that Valerie Wilson worked as a CIA analyst.
		And Fitzgerald never said Libby was the first official to have disclosed information about Valerie Wilson; he said Libby was the first official known to have disclosed such information.
		Libby responded to Russert that he did not know that, and Russert replied that all the reporters knew it.

		LEWIS LIBBY, also known as "SCOOTER LIBBY," was employed as Assistant to the President of the United States, Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States, and Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs.
		When the conversation turned to the subject of Joseph Wilson, LIBBY asked that the information LIBBY provided on the topic of Wilson be attributed to a "former Hill staffer" rather than to a "senior administration official," as had been the understanding with respect to other information that LIBBY provided to Miller during this meeting.
		On or about July 10 or July 11, 2003, LIBBY spoke to a senior official in the White House ("Official A") who advised LIBBY of a conversation Official A had earlier that week with columnist Robert Novak in which Wilson's wife was discussed as a CIA employee involved in Wilson's trip.

		GEORGE PACKER: Libby was part of something called the "White House Iraq group" which was set up in the summer of 2002 to prepare the public for the coming war in Iraq.
		Libby was a core member of that group, so that definitely fell within his portfolio in the vice president's office.

		While Libby is too skilled an author to provide the reader with airtight evidence at the end of the book, I was impressed by the subtle way in which the apprentice drew his conclusions after leaving the maze and stepping out of the metaphorical snow.
		Libby's prose is economical, yet remarkably evocative -- I could smell the smoky fire and wet fur in the overcrowded inn, hear the sounds of the violent storm, and feel the stinging of the driving snow against my face.
		It may seem hackneyed to say that Libby is a master story teller, but, since that is what novels are all about -- He is! I was totally enthralled by his ability to capture the setting: the Japanese countryside at the turn of the century during a smallpox epidemic.

	Who is Scooter Libby? - By John Dickerson - Slate Magazine
		Libby's natural urge would have been to push back against the CIA with whom he and his boss had been waging an ongoing war over the intelligence that led to the war itself, a war for which he was a key proponent, and in which he continues to deeply believe.
		Libby flies at a higher altitude, talking mostly to marquee columnists and preferring longer and more in-depth conversations to the rat-a-tat-tat required by reporters on deadline.
		Libby is fussy and precise with reporters, which is why friends and colleagues find it so hard to believe that he would have been involved in leaking Plame's identity, obstructing justice, or committing perjury.

	TomDispatch - Tomgram: De la Vega, A Libby Pardon for Christmas?
		Libby is not only alive and well; it is also set to begin on January 16, 2007, just three and a half months from now.
		In that motion, Libby's defense team argued that the case should be dismissed because it was "obtained, approved and signed by an official -- Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald -- who was appointed and exercised his powers" in violation of the Constitution.
		Libby does, however, have one other hope for dismissal of the charges prior to trial: graymail -- a defense tactic so named because it is a subtle form of flmail that forces a prosecutor to choose between disclosing highly classified information and continuing to proceed with a case.

		Libby’s story that he was at the tail end of a chain of phone calls, passing on from one reporter what he heard from another, was not true.
		Libby’s indictment is a political embarrassment for the president, paving the way for a possible trial renewing the focus on the administration’s faulty rationale for going to war against Iraq — the erroneous assertion that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
		Libby is considered Cheney’s alter ego, a chief architect of the war with Iraq.

	The legal case against I. Lewis Libby: how strong? \| csmonitor.com
		Libby and other White House insiders intentionally leaked the identity of a CIA agent to punish her husband for his public criticism of the administration's Iraq policies, Professor Rothstein says.
		Under this theory, Libby's alleged misstatements to FBI agents and the grand jury were designed to prevent investigators from learning who else at the White House was involved in what would amount to a criminal conspiracy to disclose national security secrets to discredit a critic.
		The five-count indictment against Libby charges that he lied to investigators and the grand jury about how he learned the identity and employment of the CIA agent whose name was leaked to the press.
