Libby: Leftly Leaning - Tuesday, February 20th

Pach bemoans a missed opportunity for self-evaluation [1] from the NYT over the media’s role in Plamegate and notes that the Gray Lady is “trying to pretend she's not in it way past her tits in propelling right wing propaganda.”

Over at Hullabaloo, digby highlights Fitzgerald’s conservatism [2] against a recent article by Murray Waas exploring whether Libby will shield Cheney from prosecution.

Larry Johnson takes issue with Victoria Toensing’s recent assertions [3] that Plame was not undercover and that Joe Wilson is a big, fat liar.

Also, Jeralyn at TalkLeft counters Toensing’s claim [4]of jury nullification and argues that she could not think of a worse argument to make to the jury.

Finally, enjoy these two articles from FDL’s looseheadprop which offer a legal analysis of both the prosecution’s opening [5] and the defense’s closing [6].
