The Mahablog: Catching Up

The go-to link this morning is to an article in The American Prospect by Murray Waas. According to Waas, Dick the Dick's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, met with Our Gal Judy Miller on July 8, 2003. At this meeting, Waas's sources say, Libby and Miller discussed Valerie Plame.

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. Sources close to the investigation, and private attorneys representing clients embroiled in the federal probe, said that Libby's failure to produce a personal waiver may have played a significant role in Miller’s decision not to testify about her conversations with Libby, including the one on July 8, 2003.
