HeadlineMar 17, 2006

In other news, defense lawyers for indicted White House aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby have subpoenaed documents from the New York Times, Time magazine and three other journalists, including Tim Russert of NBC News and former New York Times reporter Judy Miller. Libby stepped down as Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney after he was indicted in the investigation over the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. Libby’s attorneys are asking the news organizations to turn over documents that could show what they knew about Plame before her identity was publicly disclosed.
