Fitz lays out Cheney and Scooter in rebuttal

Tue Feb 20, 2007 at 03:48:11 PM PDT

Firedoglake.com has been awsome. Ladies you are too good. Real time blogging has captured the feel of this trial from the start and the closing arguments today were the culmination of what amounts to a coup de grace for blogging.
Everyone should go there to read Fitzgerald's rebuttal of defence's closing arguments. Devastating, simply devastating.
My favorite part though is the way he brought the boss into the scheme. No not that Boss, I mean Dick Cheney. How do you call a conspiracy a conspiracy without using that word? He does it. Remember his analogy upon bringing the charges of purjery and obstruction? "Like throwing sand in an umpires eyes." Well the ump is still pissed and he lay's it on.

My favorite part was his bringing up the damage done to the CIA and Brewster-Jennings and the possibility of the destruction that could come from that. Also his characterization of the dehumanizing of Mrs Wilson by th Office of the Vice President was classic. I still don't know how to link or copy or I would but I couldn't stand it that no one had started a diary on this yet, so I had to. There will be another couple hours of final's tomorrow and then to the jury.
