'Instant' Book Coming On Libby Trial
CBS News Interactive: The Leak
(AP) Talk about an "instant" book. Within two hours of I. Lewis Libby's conviction Tuesday for lying and obstruction of justice, a publisher announced plans for a paperback release about the trial of Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff.

"Like the published reports from the 9/11 Commission and the Iraq Study Group, the CIA leak case warrants a definitive book based upon the Libby trial record," Philip Turner, editorial director of Sterling Publishing's Union Square Press imprint, said in a statement.

"The United States v. I. Lewis Libby," which will include testimony and original reporting, will be edited by investigative journalist Murray Waas of the National Journal, a weekly magazine. The book is scheduled to be released in April as a paperback original, with a first printing of 75,000.

Libby was convicted of lying and obstructing an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity. The verdict culminated a nearly four-year investigation into how CIA official Valerie Plame's name was leaked to reporters in 2003.

1. If Waas is involved, it is not that "Instant" -- LOL -- just because AP just woke up to the story

doesn't mean Waas wasn't investigating a good long while./
