For perjury, lying to the grand jury.

Not for outing a CIA super-secret undercover operative.

For lying about what he said to Russert

It has NOTHING to do with going to war

SP Fitz even said so at the Presser on Friday

Making false statements during an investigaytion. I don't condone such behavior but I can't get over the irony that if there had been no investigation there would have been no crime.

He was indicted for lying, not for outing a "secret" agent.

His charges have nothing to do with the actual leak, but rather his testimony.
