Libby Denied Access to Some Classified Documents

August 22, 2006

From a Friday, August 18, Ruling

WASHINGTON -- A federal judge blocked Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff on Friday from using some classified material to help with his defense in the CIA leak case.

Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been granted access to a number of classified documents to prepare for trial, but U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton denied Libby's request for an unspecified number of other documents.

"The documents and information at issue are extremely sensitive and their disclosure could cause serious if not grave damage to the national security of the United States," Walton wrote in a ruling that sides with prosecutors and intelligence officials who opposed turning them over.

Walton ruled that the documents being withheld would not aid Libby's defense.

BuzzFlash Comment: Libby has already done enough damage to our national security; we're glad he's being kept from doing further harm to America's interests.
