A whole lotta lyin' and obfuscatin' has been ignored, willfully, by our esteemed major media, but they wouldn't be able to ignore trial information dredged up by the defense.<br /><br />After that, I'm ready to donate to a "Schaffer for Congress" campaign. We need people like him, instead of some of the partially-lobotomized, silver-tongues we now have, running the nation.

Quite simply, Plame was not a covert operative, and therefore naming her as a CIA employee carries no more weight than if I were to point out that Porter Goss is also a CIA employee.<br /><br />Unfortunately, apparently Libby did commit a crime--he lied.

Unfortunately, apparently Libby did commit a crime–he lied. Why he lied to cover up a non-crime is a mystery to me.

Then again, if lying was such a heinous offense Bill Clinton would have been sent to the chair…

Once again, double standards reign supreme.
