To buffer the defense’s case that Scooter Libby just forgot the details of how Valerie Wilson’s name was leaked, they’ve marshaled the testimony of John Hannah, currently Vice President Cheney’s national security advisor:
John Hannah, who served as Libby’s deputy in 2003 and 2004, described a workday that began with a highly classified CIA briefing and continued at breakneck speed from one top-level meeting to the next….
“On certain things, Scooter just had an awful memory,” Hannah said.
He described briefing Libby on policy decisions and strategies in the morning, only to have Libby excitedly repeat them back to him that evening as if they were new.
“That’s Scooter,” Hannah said.
