WASHINGTON - A ruling by a federal judge Thursday could make it easier for Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff to use classified documents in his trial in the CIA leak case.
Libby has obtained sensitive documents including Cheney's intelligence briefings during the spring and summer of 2003. At the time, Plame's CIA status was leaked to the press after her husband accused the Bush administration of twisting prewar intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi threat.
Libby's attorneys say the briefing memos will show that Libby had more pressing issues on his mind at the time and honestly didn't remember his conversations with reporters. More on the story...
On a side note: Libby was only given classified documents only to spring and summer of 2003. He was denied his original request for classified documents before and after the Plame leak and Presidential Daily Briefings.

Libby is not winner as this was already known. This wont change the fact that he lied under oath. I'm ready for the trial in Jan.
Yup!
