Just beautiful... the Vice President's chief of staff worked for Marc Rich, a borderline 'traitor' to our country. Just bleeping beautiful...

Defense attorneys tend to work for undesirables more often than not. Not everyone that they defend is innocent (even if they all profess it to be so.)

The question is whether Libby just handled a single case or was he on retainer to Marc Rich?

Since Libby was a high profile DC attorney, he probably had a few undesirable clients as well as quite a few upstanding ones.

That said, it was a poor choice for Cheney to keep him on staff, given Libby's past professional relationship with such a notorious character as Marc Rich. But that is a political decision, not an ethical breach.

"border line traitor"? He profited from trading with and enriching Iran while they held American hostages and chanted "Death to America". What does a person have to do to be more than a borderline traitor?

Yes, and now Libby is the hero of Freerepublic. Would anyone have guessed it?
