Jury selection begins Tuesday in the CIA leak trial of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and attorneys for both sides plan to ask potential jurors questions about their political affiliations. US District Judge Reggie Walton approved a final list of questions proposed by attorneys that will be asked of the group of 60 potential jurors over the next few days. Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald also hopes to ask jurors what news sources they read, while defense attorneys plan to ask how the jurors feel about the war in Iraq and whether they believe the Bush administration lied to the American public about the reasons for going to war.
