Libby trial revelations

The last of eight hours of audiotapes filled the courtroom in U.S. District Court here with Libby's calm voice for a third consecutive day, revealing two key points to the jury.

The tapes demonstrate the specific gaps between Libby's version of events and those of government officials and journalists who already have testified at his trial.

They also provide an insider's view of the eagerness at the highest levels of the White House to reach out to the press to discredit Wilson who had revealed that the president had misled the public about the reasons for the war.
