Libby, guilty! What??

Scooter Libby was handed a guilty verdict today by some idiots jurors.  I guess a good case could be made for professional jurors after this ruling, the Ramos-Campean (U.S. Border Agents), Michael Jackson, and OJ Simpson.

Today, once again under the Bush Administration's watch, justice was dumped on her head.  Deputy Secretary Armitage confessed to his boss, then Secretary of State Colin Powell, that he was the leak in the Valerie Plame/CIA case.  Scooter Libby, Vice President Cheney's Cheif of Staff, gave an interview to Tim Russert but didn't divulge any covert CIA operative information.  It is clear that no crime was broken in this case, not even by Armitage.  Plame was not and had not been a covert agent within the time period specified by the law for releasing such information (See Valerie Tunseng section in the Plame/CIA Leak -1 article.)

Bush should pardon Libby.  [I say flatly, since I know from his past record, he will not.]  I am so disappointed in much of what Bush has done, or not done, as President.  He has protected this country flawlessly against further terrorist attacks, or maybe he has just been lucky.  But...  I can only shake my head and lament that fact that America NEEDS a true Conservative in 2008.  [Not Guiliani, not Romney, not McCain, ... not any of them.  Maybe Newt, maybe.  Allen Keyes would be my man!!!]

Read the next two articles that report the Plame / CIA / Whitehouse Leak events and investigation.  I can't believe it is even still in the courts, let alone receiving a guilty verdict.  There is and was no crime!!  Why can't Bush have a backbone when it comes to stepping-in on behalf of those who are wrongly prosecuted?  Read Plame/CIA Leak -1 first (first reportage), then Valerie Plame/CIA Leak -2 (the I-told-you-so story and what I thought would be the end of the story).
