2. Libby - once a Bobby Kennedy supporter? From NPR (read more about NPR below):
"Despite a political start as a "Bobby Kennedy Democrat" during the 1968 presidential election, Libby's move toward conservative politics began when he enrolled in a political science class taught by Paul Wolfowitz, the former deputy defense secretary (and now World Bank president), who was then a Yale professor. Wolfowitz was so impressed by his student's writing skills that he later he coaxed Libby — by then a Columbia University-trained attorney — to leave private practice and become his speechwriter when he joined the Reagan Administration as the head of policy planning in 1981."

BY THE WAY, SPEAKING OF NPR: (Libby Legal Defense Team)

One person prominent in Libby's Legal Defense Fund is RICHARD CARLSON - once ran Corporation for Public Broadcasting - presently and in the past.

Carlson now:
Richard Carlson is Vice Chairman of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a policy institute focusing on terrorism. He has experience in journalism and diplomacy and is a former United States Ambassador.

Carlson past:
was head of CBR - we know the effect on NPR and PBS

4. Well, I watched corporate tv this morning and Libby has dropped

off the airwaves.

I think he's 'ready already' to run for Republican President. Cleansed by the corporations.

Blessed and cleansed.

That means however, that he can't remain in the setting the right wing placed him in yesterday afternoon and evening - innocent, humble victim of a hoax involving outing.

In other words, it's obvious what the talking points contained - kill it - kill all attention on Libby and Cheney re yellowcake and felonies.
