The Prosecution Rests, Your Honor

Wasn't expecting this so soon... "Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has rested his perjury and obstruction case against former vice presidential aide I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby." No OJ-style silliness here; just an open-and-shut prosecution case. Pretty impressive.

Now it's the defense's turn. Not sure how the 'my client was too busy to remember things' defense will play with the jury, but I'm sure it'll be entertaining. Originally, reports indicated that the defense would call VP Cheney to the stand. I doubt very much now that will happen.

Finally, Andrew Sullivan looks at the real crime Fitzgerald may be hoping to uncover.
