Listen to the rhetoric of politicians across Europe and you won't hear the relationship between Poles and their host countries described in such friendly terms. In 2005, Philippe de Villiers, leader of France's Euro-skeptic Mouvement pour la France, darkly warned of the "Polish plumber and Estonian architect" triggering "the demolition of France's social and economic model."

His exacting attention to how host Chris Matthews characterized the role of the Vice President in sending Wilson to Niger undermined the defense's case that Libby had too much on his mind to have really bothered to lie - or even to have remembered what exactly to lie about. They argued Libby had other preoccupations; the war, possible al-Qaeda attacks, the 27 national security topics and 13 terrorist threats that were in Libby's briefing book...
