It has nothing to do with any FBI files"
You're right..however, the fact that Chuck Colson got prison time for ONE FBI file and Hillary and Bubba illegally had 900 is just one more example of "prosecutorial discretion" for some and "prosecution" for others.
Libby should have been indicted by what I can see..and he deserves his day in court. It just galls me that a Sandy Berger (Burglar) can actually STEAL classifed information, and no one in the media looks further into it.
On one hand you have Fitz saying "national security" was compromised, but refusing to say HOW, refusing to categorize Plame as covert, AND dismissing Wilson's lies as irrelevant. At the same time, the media is trying to take a case of perjury about a conversation with a reporter as the breakthrough to Bush's impeachment over why he went into Iraq.
If the FBI files had nothing to do with this...if Wilson's lies about Niger had nothing to do with this case...then this perjury case has nothing to do with Bush's decision, based on CIA intelligence that existed and was relied on by both Clinton/Bush adminstrations, to go to war.
You have a point there! It appears to be shaking out that the White House is dodging the bullet, it's all confined to Scooter Libby and the White House can get back to business. Thank God.
