Who is Scooter Libby?

Scandal. Lies. Corruption. And it goes all the way to the top. Sounds like a great story, doesn't it? What can you do to make it original? How about digging into the Scooter Libby trial a little bit? There's a lot of meat inside this dead animal, and a lot of ideas for stories. And sometimes, the real world is more frightening than any fictional story we could come up with.

What happened with Valerie Plame was outed? Was she covert? That's debatable. However, there WAS a time when she was Black Ops, and she was working with other Black Ops agents overseas under the cover of a fictional business. What happened to the people associated with her who were still overseas when that jackass Novak outed her? How can we possibly know if those people are Black Ops? The government denies their existence one way or another.

It would make a great story.
