University of California, Irvine, professor Elizabeth Loftus, a
prominent scholar on people's overconfidence about memory, was turned
down by the judge as an expert witness in November in the forthcoming
trial of "Scooter" Libby (Vice President Cheney's former assistant, who
has been charged with lying to prosecutors about phone conversations,
which Libby says weren't lies but just forgetfulness). At a hearing on
Loftus' credentials, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald not only exposed
some problems with her research but elicited from Loftus the confident
assertion that the two had never before met. However, Fitzgerald then
immediately refreshed Loftus' memory, reminding her that he had
cross-examined her in court once before. [Washington Post, 10-27-06]

I'll bet you didn't get it, Greg.

A perfect example of your ranting mindless bias getting in the way of
your capacity to think and the irony REALLY involved here.

The JUDGE WAS WRONG.

If ever there was a credible witness this would be it...someone who is
an expert "on people's overconfidence about memory" demonstrating that
even SHE is overconfident about her memory.

Now lie and tell me you got that little twist.
