He thought he was telling the truth. Do you remember how and when you first found out that Plame worked for the CIA?
The implication of the Libby conviction suggests that if you answer the question in a manner were someone or something contradicts your answer you could face 2.5 years in jail and a $250,000, even when no underlying crime was commited to establish the reason for the question. Whould you take the risk and answer the question?
