Washington scandals come and go, but the one surrounding the investigation into the leaking of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity has had unprecedented staying power. When Libby was indicted, his trial became the latest chapter in the saga. Murray Waas, one of today’s finest investigative journalists, has edited this instant book that covers the trial. Waas combines the trial transcript, and his own original, incisive reporting and an over-arching introductory essay. The subject is one with which Murray Waas is intimately familiar: he’s done groundbreaking work for National Journal covering the Bush Administration’s misuse) of pre-war intelligence. No one is better qualified, or has done more to inform the public of these events than Murray Waas.
