Right up there with “the dog ate my homework”:
Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff was so consumed with pressing national security concerns in 2003 and 2004 that he undoubtedly forgot details of conversations he had about undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame, his defense lawyers argue in new court filings.
Attorneys for I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby insist they need hundreds of pages of classified daily briefings prepared for President Bush to show that Libby did not intentionally lie about discussing Plame with reporters, as prosecutors allege. They contend that he was preoccupied with more serious matters when the conversations took place and when investigators questioned him months later.
I was expecting this to come out much earlier.
I think he is admitting to not being qualified for the position, because that’s one of the qualifications, to be able to absorb tons of classified information and then to keep your mouth shut.
geez. is there anything they won’t play the terrorism card on?
