No memory loss with latest Libby prosecution witness
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- If Lewis "Scooter" Libby's defense team hopes to continue a strategy of highlighting memory problems among prosecution witnesses, they may have a tough time with the latest person to testify.

David Addington, Libby's successor as Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, so far has indicated he recalls every detail down to how many documents he was asked to round up for investigators in the case.

"The total of documents produced by then was 12,046 pages and a lot of that is Mr. Libby's handwritten notes," Addington testified in response to a question as to whether Libby's notes would have been more than a thousand.
