Libby

Libby was found guilty in 4/5 charges. The jury was convinced that he lied to cover up the deliberate outing of Plame for political purposes. So, I'm baffled as to why Fitzgerald has stopped the investigation. What came out in the trial were many people in the administration trying to discredit a Democratic critic by attacking his wife. If it's not illegal, these are not people who should be in office.

I'm also tired of the right saying that it hasn't been proved that Plame was covert. Oh please. It's true it didn't come up in a trial but it must be the reason the CIA asked the Justice Department to investigate in the first place. A year ago Newsweek wrote Plame Was Still Covert.

I also heard typical left v right talking heads on MSNBC. The idiot on the right was saying Plame sent Wilson on the trip to Niger. What pissed me off was the idiot on the left could merely say "that's not true" to which the idiot on the left said "yes it was" and the idiot moderator didn't say anything. After all this time is it so hard to know that Cheney asked the CIA for more info about Iraq's alleged attempts to acquire yellow cake. The CIA office thought it would need to send someone there and wondered who was qualified. Plame said her husband was potentially qualified and the officers (not Plame) interviewed him, found him qualified, and sent him. Why do journalists leave it to the other side to disprove lies and not state facts themselves?

Also is it so hard to know what Wilson reported? That people told him Iraq did approach them to buy yellow cake but because of the embargo they refused. So the evidence was Iraq did try, didn't succeed and the embargo worked. Is that what Cheney says?
