Of course it's a witch hunt.

We taxpayers spent millions on some other long investigation and all we got was a stained blue dress. This is par for the course. ;)

All he came up with?!!  These charges qualify as high crimes and misdemeanors sufficient to impeach a president!

Witch hunt??? This was an illegal move to help support false information in the quest for war.  It was a move to discredit and distract people from the truth of no "WMD"s, and no crediable threat from Iraq.  All of this so the Neo-conservative 'Plan for a New American Century' could move forward.

_____________________________ _________

What happend to Clinton was a witch hunt....This was about fixing the case for a War .. which isn't illegal, maybe immoral.... but fixing a case for war by illegal means is both.  Slightly diffrant ballgame form the defenition of sexual intercoarse and 'purgery'.  If you ask an ambiguous question you'd ought to expect an ambiguous answer.  

I fail to see how this is a witch hunt?

From Fitzgerald on CNN
"Mr. Libby was the frist known offical to tell a reporter"

It's illegal to identify a N.O.C. or any covert U.S. agent.  Hardly a witch hunt.

So why wasn't he charged with said crime?

Could it be because the crime never happened?

IIRC, he was tried for that. Oh yeah... acquitted too.

By golly, you're right!  If he isn't the sitting president, then I guess the charges on which Libby was indicted aren't crucial to the rule of law and are mere technicalities because he can't be impeached.

He may still be charged with that crime. The prosecution will not be limited to the  indictments of the grand jury, I believe.

The prosecuter stated flat out in his press confrence, that he has no case for the outting of the agent.

He is not the sitting president, acting president, vice president or president of the student council.  

He is a vp's chief of staff

Here's whats interesting, these liberals (some posting in this thread) are willing to take the New York Times reporters version of a story (Who's past reporters have blatantly LIED and been fired) rather than a government officials version of a story.  Now, I'm not defending the man, but merely pointing out how folks want to persecute him without having all the facts up front.  Imagine if our justice system ran the way people want it to in this thread? We'd clearly be in the wild west circa 19th century lawlessness.

Libby clearly understood the power of information leaked to the press, as the grand jury investigation showed. While Libby avoided television appearances and rarely was quoted by name, he would talk to a few reporters on background. Two reporters -- Time magazine's Matthew Cooper and the New York Times' Judith Miller -- said Libby told them the identity of a covert CIA operative, Valerie Plame.

He said, she said...

Rip has a point - an indictment is merely an accusation of wrongdoing, not a conviction.    I should have prefaced my suggested punishment with "if he's found guilty."    I apologize for that, and thank Ripsnort for pointing it out.

Guilty or not, he's gone from the Whitehouse. :lol
