Funny hoe the "liberal media" has been entirely silent on this trial huh? if the media WAS truly liberal, wouldn't this have been front page news as Monica was for 2 years?

Nope. This entire trial is utter garbage manufactured by the prosecutor. Plame was not covert in the previous five years = originally there was no crime committed = total waste of time. Sure, the Bush administration was using the media to exact revenge on someone who tried to expose their fraudulent intelligence in the build up to the Iraq war, but that does not mean they committed a crime. They might be scum but for this they are not crooks IMO. That doesn't mean Libby didn't lie, he might have, but the entire case is nothing more than political axe grinding.

Midnight, I gotta say you are someone else I was wrong about (unless your post is sarcastic, but seeing your posts of late, I don't think it is)

You are not a hack at all like I am, and have no problem actually thinking about issues

Kudos

Although I will add that this should not have happened and there has to be accountability

Bush Sr put it best when talking about exposing secrets and our intelligence, it is a grave act against our national security

[Air Force Cane]

it took 11 days of deliberations to decide whether Libby or Matt Cooper was right in recollecting whether Libby knew at the time that Plame worked for the CIA.

Those are 2 of the 5 counts. This is a huge waste of money and time over nothing- when it was Richard Armitage who was the source of Plame anyway.

I still laugh over how the libs were so ecstatic that Rove was going to be shorly frog-marched out of the White House in 2005

Did someone hack your account?

[Gallntfox]

Guilty on multiple counts. No shock there.

[frommd]

Guilty on four of five counts according to A.P.

[Chief skin]

No big deal Bush will pardon him for taking 1 for the team. Where is the pardon for Ramos and Compaeon (can't spell the name) 2 INS agents who DID THEIR JOB and were locked up for it.

[Hooper]

Death penalty for Scooter.

Or, you know, at least a small fine.

You're a hack??

[Chump Bailey]

Why are we not talking about Sandy Berger's theft and possible destruction of documents from the National Archives? This is much more appalling IMO.

[Hooper]

Man. A guy named Scooter might have a hard time in Federal Pound-Me-In-The-*****-Prison.

[Chump Bailey]

Libby found guilty...

Good point. Though I disagree that one is worse than the other. Both acts are pretty reprehensible in my mind.
