By now, everyone probably knows that bloggers are covering the perjury trial of former White House aid, Lewis "Scooter" Libby. From February 12-14, I'll be up at bat. I'm really interested in your thoughts about what bloggers should be covering.

Here's what some of the bloggers on the BlogHer rolls who are covering the trial have had to say so far:

If you want to get caught up on everything that's happened, the folks at Firedoglake not only have a helpful collection of live blogs, they have pulled up all of their old posts on the case.

Meanwhile, in the courtroom, Jeralyn from Talk Left explains why she feels prosecuter Patrick Fitzgerald got less than he hoped for from the testimony of journalists Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper:

Patrick Fitzgerald has placed a lot of faith in Judy Miller and Matthew Cooper and their less than perfect memories and note-taking skills. The defense chipped away at both today. There were no Perry Mason moments, but neither came across as 100% sure of what Libby told them.

Clarice Feldman at Just One Minute opines that Lewis' lawyers destroyed Cooper's testimony,"[i]n a brutally devastating but gentlemanly low key way."

In addition to yours truly, La Shawn Barber is also set to live-blog the trial later this month. Her coverage is sure to be lively. Stay tuned.
