Why Not Indict the Reporter?Patrick Fitzgerald apparently determined that Lewis Libby did not reveal any national security secrets, according to the indictment. He was indicted for being the odd-man out in a conversation, as Michael Ledeen points out.
it [the indictment] says that Libby lied to the grand jury (and elsewhere the FBI) when he testified that he told (Cooper, Miller or Russert) things that in fact he did not tell (Cooper, Miller or Russert).While it is not difficult to get an indictment, it seems that Libby's lawyers will have plenty to work with.If that is right, it means that this poor man may well have been indicted because his memory of those conversations differs from the journalists'. And Fitzgerald chose/wanted? to believe the journalists' memories. Pfui. To this non-lawyer, that's not good enough to shake up the staff of the vice president of the United States.

Even Steven,
We understand perjury just fine thank you very much.
This poor man was indicted because he threw sand in the face of an umpire. What's this about perjury?
Hahahahah
