Defense lawyer Ted Wells, writes Dana Milbank in The Washington Post "may yet win an acquittal [but] it won't be because of the cohesion of his closing arguments. Libby was alternately portrayed as a man who told the truth, a man who inadvertently misspoke, and the victim of conspiracies involving everybody from President Bush to Tim Russert." Is this the best lawyer Cheney could buy for his buddy?
