That being said if it can be proven what Libby said was both MATERIAL and an INTENTIONAL ACT TO DECEIVE, then he should pay the price.

Have you read the indictment? (link here) If you read the indictment it appears that Libby did intentionally try to deceive...the reporters who already knew that Plame worked for the CIA. His own testimony makes it look like he went out of his way to keep reporters from using the White House as a source for confirming her identity. (Which they already knew.)

This case scares me--not because of its underlying merit, but because prosecutors can pressure indicted people to say anything about anyone.

Bush should pardon Libby now, fire the special prosecutor now, out Wilson as a liar now, and take the heat now.

A slow roasting by the MSM is not a good strategy imho.
