Wilson Civil Case Update
{Note: I am passing this message on to DUers. Many of you have likely had the same message. This is an important phase in the civil case, and your interest and support is appreciated. Thanks! H2O Man}

Dear Friends and Supporters:

Thank you for your contributions to the Joseph and Valerie Wilson Legal Support Trust. Your generous support continues to be an essential component of our fight for justice.

We are further encouraged, and our resolve has been strengthened, by today's conviction of I. Lewis Scooter Libby on multiple counts of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements. The verdict was a resounding declaration that government officials who violate the public trust will be held accountable. However, the truth surrounding Libby, Rove and Cheney's illegal actions continues to be suppressed as both Libby and the Vice President successfully avoided taking the stand during the trial.

The pursuit of the truth and accountability will now shift to our pending civil suit. The stakes are high, and the defendants have already put their almost limitless resources to work, stalling justice with motions to dismiss and with claims of immunity.

Your moral and financial support is critical to the suit's survival and success. We hope you can amplify the message delivered by the Libby jury by making another donation to the Wilson Legal Support Trust. For updates, please go to www.WilsonSupport.org and encourage your friends to do the same.

Sincerely,
Joe and Valerie Wilson

2. Good To Know
I bet they are trying to stall with claims of immunity, though I cannot imagine on what basis they can claim that, especially Rove. You'd think this unelected varmint was king of the world the way they treat him. Time for the scales of justice to fall on his head.

4. Right.
Their message noted that Scooter and Dick were able to avoid the witness stand. I'd include Karl, as well. Team Libby made it sound like they were going to show that I. Liar had been sacrificed to save Karl. Let's hear from all of them.

3. Got it.
And keep consortiumnews on the radar, too. We know there are many who would like Parry to go away.

5. Robert Parry is
one of the great journalists of our time. I strongly urge people to visit his site, and support his work.

6. Thanks.
It's a tough road to hoe - the good guys generally do end up on the toughest roads, though.

8. I Don't Know If Anything Will Stop Their LIes
When has it ever? A big fat award against them would help. Is there any possibility at all that Vacula could become a John Doe?

9. Thanks as always for putting that out there.
Everyone remember should they get more than is needed for the fight, any overage will go to protect whistleblowers. Also, you know powerful money is being sent to the other side. This is a very important trial.
