(Trial liveblogging will still continue on the previous post if I see anything worth writing about in the extra pleadings.)
So I went to see the trial on a lark, basically, and didn't seriously intend to liveblog it, but I got into the spirit of things once the tapes started and did several posts about it. Unfortunately, I'm unlikely to be able to return at least until next week, although visiting DC is entertaining and sometimes necessary/useful for me.
I'm really very gratified by the reader response to it, both from people I know and the firedoglakians who have graced my blog with their positive feedback. While some people find court proceedings boring, I am often amused by them, and I wish I could do more (I mean, it generates attention and hits on my blog at the very least), but it's not practical for me to go to the courthouse every day. I am not a Big Blog and I don't have the werewithal to post every day, but I hope some of you check back in later on my periodic posts about Canada, the US, and the world, and my rather intransigent dogmatic self.
As for the trial, as I said, I find trials like this pretty interesting at times. It's too bad it was just tapes and not live testimony, but it was still a worthwhile exercise as to seeing the process and operation of trial lawyers in a high-profile case. I think that the government didn't get everything it wanted out of Libby, but there were a lot of things that were kind of out of whack. The forgetting looks convenient, to say the least, but whether the government really proved it is another matter. The look at the internal life of the neocons in power was also very interesting.
I'll have more collected thoughts later, but it's time for me to go. See you all.
