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." Before the E.U. admitted 10 new members back in 2004, populist fears of unwashed hordes stealing jobs from local workers led most of the old E.U. countries, including Germany, Austria and France, to keep their labor markets closed...
...vacancy rates reported by Irish businesses in the past two years have actually risen, from 11% to 17%. The positions migrants are filling, economists say, are either ones that locals don't want, or new positions altogether. In fact, the infusion of educated labor drove growth in host countries' most dynamic sectors. Chudzicka arrived with a diploma in economics and now stars in her own Polish-language TV show (see profile).

...that was all mere prelude to the case's pivotal witness, NBC's Tim Russert. Despite Libby's claim that he first learned about Valerie Plame from Russert, the host of NBC's Meet the Press told jurors that he never spoke with Libby about her.

...Throughout the trial, Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald kept coming back to Hardball. Libby seemed a singularly obsessive viewer of the show. 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...
