... wants to be sure to keep Libby in his corner. Quietly in his corner. After all, why would Libby rat out the one guy in Washington who fought for him, persistently and publicly? That explanation is a bit thin, since Libby can't have any chance of a full pardon from the Obama Administration regardless of what story he might tell. However, if Libby is looking for a book deal to supplement his income, one might suspect that the value of the book would depend on the story he sold. The Captain has thoughts on Bush's motivation.
