DB How it happened her name and employment got to the media. Trying to find out identities of those participating in disclosing her identity to media,whether they knew it was classified, what their intent was on disclosing information.

Whoa! Agent Bond just confirmed that Plame’s identity WAS classified info!

Watch the wingnuts studiously ignore this revelation!

Question por favor? When Walton asks juror questions at the end of a witness testimony are they questions from the judge or jurors?

btw I really used to like this blog before addiction set in….)

Jurors…but he examines them for relevance and whether or not they are allowable (e.g. they clearly couldn’t ask if Plame WAS COVERT, or ask for hearsay interpretations, etc.) Walton usually tells they Jury why a certain question can’t be asked obliquely.

It does appear that if a question isn’t responded to fully that he, himself, may be interjecting “follow-up” questions. I think these are his…although perhaps he’s instructed the jurors to tell him what they are looking for in response and/or they do include follow ups.

Mrs.K8—nothing’s turned off on our end and FF 2.0.x seems to work for many of us. Might try clearing the FF cache to make sure everything transitioned properly to the new browser.

Any other ideas to help our good friend are welcome.

Thanks, sweetie! See my above comment to John in Sacramento for my rantings about FF2.

You’re the best!

john in sacramento –

This is the “mystery witness” — Agent (Debbie, I think) Bond.

Not as exciting as all the musings had fantasized, but still a good witness, I think.

Thanks Mrs. K8 ;-)

p.s. “Quote This Comment” works for me

Thanks for reporting the status on your computer. I finally figured it out — it was a setting for tab mgmt in this @#$%^&!!! version of Firefox.

I wish there had been a simple setting — “choosing this will enable this version to behave exactly like v. 1.5 behaved” or some such.

Turns out that when I hit “quote this comment” and “edit this comment” it came up — in a brand new tab!!! And it was all unbeknownst to me as I have numerous tabs open — and I was focused on the one I was working on.

Grrrr….

I say this only in part to vent — but also because someone else may have run into the same stupid situation.

Maybe we’ll actually get to Agent Bond and Libby’s testimony huh? Then again, maybe I’ll leave it for Monday, when Jane and Swopa will be here…

Don’t leave us Marcy!
Oh, man, people are freaking out even before they’ve seen my crappy live-blogging. :-)

Fear not, Marcy’s just taking a week off to tend to some business in “flyover country,” after which she’ll come back to DC. So you’ll only have to put up with my inferior product for a few days.

Swopa,

“Flyover country”? You are referring to MICHIGAN?

My name is HotFlash. You insulted my state. Prepare to die, er, buy me a beer.

Oops, Mr HotFlash’s info on this computer, should be mine (blush).

I know I’m going to be accused of heresy here….but what if FDL did not include images at the top of each LiveBlogging post at all? Personally, I could live with that, and if it made things run smoother/faster, I’d be all for it.

It wouldn’t help much. After the first load, the images will usually be cached in the browser so they won’t actually get retransmitted when the user hits reload since they haven’t changed since the last load. Also, they’re typically served statically which means that while they consume bandwidth, they don’t use as much server-side compute resources such as database traffic, and that computing is what usually hoses a server in this type of application. If you look at something like a porn site, they burn a lot more bandwidth than a large blog does, but on a fraction of the server hardware because they are just serving the same static files (pics and videos) over and over, not dynamic content that needs a lot of crunching.

did you talk about how he learned of Plame’s id

DB he first learned about Plame from VP, during telephone call on or about June 12, 2003. Description of phone call. A handwritten note he claimed he had written during this conversation.

Z What did he tell you. Precise date.

DB On the note 6/12/03, line on top, meant approximately. Regarding an article by Pincus. Written for newspaper on June 12, he believed he talked about this note prior to that. He had written the date afterwards, within a couple of days, couldn’t remember precisely when.

I don’t follow: Did Libby tell the CIA he learned of Plame from Cheney on June 12, 2003? or did he tell them he learned from Russert in July? If the former, what did he lie about?

Marcy’s couture report reads like the beginning of logic question from the GRE: “No one on the Defense team has a new haircut. Neither Wells nor Fitz are wearing their gray suits. Bonamici has the most interesting outfit.” It will be interesting to see whether the answer to the question is eventually “Cheney changes his underwear as Scooter tries on his new orange jumpsuit.”

LMFAO!!!!! That was priceless! Thank you.
