"Is anyone else struck with the contrast between these two prosecutions?"

By the contrast yes but still it's no surprise. Scooter Libby takes a dive and thats the end of the investigation.
Just like Burglar, small investigation, slap on the wrist and it all goes away. Will we ever find out who the leak was? No. Will we ever find out what documents Burglar destroyed? No. We will never see the bottom of either of these investigations because the fix is in.
Burglar was a sacrifice for Clinton and Libby was a sacrifice for Bush.

Will we ever find out who the leak was? No.

Just a second there! We seem to have found out it was Libby. Fitzgerald said Scooter was the first administration official to reveal the Plame information to the press.

Plame was a bureaucrat. She was not covert. Therefore, it can't reasonably be considered a "leak" to mention she worked for the CIA when it was already common knowledge.
