Libby II, the civil suit

Lawyers for "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney, Karl Rove and Richard Armitage today asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit by former covert CIA officer Valerie Plame and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV for harm caused by the outing of Ms Plame in retaliation for Ambassador Wilson's criticism of the White House case for invading Iraq. In the sketch above Valerie Plame is seated in the left foreground while Rove's attorney, Bob Luskin makes his argument.

It's hard to do justice, with pencil and paint,  to Valerie Plame; she's quite striking.

Here she is with her attorney, Duke law professor Erwin Chemerinsky (who is not quite so).
