'Scooter' Libby guilty on four counts

Hurray!!!!!

Quote:
I think I'd feel happier if they had indicted Scooter's boss... who I have to believe was involved. Libby is a fall-guy. Still guilty. Still should do jail. But I truly believe that the decision to out Valerie Plume came from Dick & Co.

I agree dick should go down, but I'm still happy!

Worth pondering...

"Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said outside the courthouse, ``The results are actually sad, it's sad that we had a situation where'' a high-ranking official ``obstructed justice and lied under oath.''

"We're gratified by the jury's verdict,'' the prosecutor said. Fitzgerald said he doesn't expect to file any further charges in the CIA leak case. ``We're all going back to our day jobs,'' said the prosecutor, who is the U.S. attorney in Chicago."

From Madame Speaker:

"Today's guilty verdicts are not solely about the acts of one individual.

"This trial provided a troubling picture of the inner workings of the Bush Administration. The testimony unmistakably revealed - at the highest levels of the Bush Administration - a callous disregard in handling sensitive national security information and a disposition to smear critics of the war in Iraq."

That was the whole point of trying Libby as far as I was concerned. I was expecting him to plea bargain in exchange for ratting out Cheney. I'm kind of disappointed in the overall outcome of the case, so far.

Quote:
I heard he has been practicing how to spell "pardon" for two weeks. He almost has it memorized, just keeps getting that darn "o" confused with a "u".

: Okay, so explain to me how GWB can pardon him? How and why?
