In other words. There were two statements he made to the grand jury that didn't exactly match those made to the FBI, so we charge him with perjury for the ones said to the grand jury and making false statements for those said to the FBI. Assumption being that since they don't match, one of each set must be a lie, so we'll get him on something.
The obstruction charge is there becuase.. well... the investigation had to spend time asking Libby all those questions and then more time comparing them to other answers and finding the 2 discrepancies. And that obstructed their overall goal somehow...
Jokes aside. Looks like I've been right on the money so far. Who wants to take bets that none of these charges hold up and he's ultimately aquitted? Any takers? I'm 2 for 2 on this so far...
