1. is there a c-span link for this? something with better audio and from a camera that uses a tripod

would be easier to watch. what is the date and title of this hearing?

great catch, by the way!

2. Mistitled video. I'm no Libby supporter, but...

Delehunt says (correctly) that what Libby did was to help justify the decision to go to war, not "Libby's actions took us to war."

When I saw the video title, I was wondering what Libby could possibly have done PRIOR to the invasion in March that I hadn't heard anyone else reveal anywhere else. I thought I knew the complete story. I was right.

Libby's sole involvement was to discredit Wilson's NYT Op/Ed, which didn't appear until the following July... LONG after the invasion began in March. Libby's actions to try and discredit Wilson did nothing to "get us into" the war, only to justify it afterwards.

to hear that part again.
