Not just probation, but also $50,000 fine, losing his security clearance for 2 years, and something like 100 hours community service - I think Libby would take that deal in a heartbeat.
What do you think they'll make him do, be a docent at the National Archives?

"Not just probation, but also $50,000 fine, losing his security clearance for 2 years, and something like 100 hours community service - I think Libby would take that deal in a heartbeat."
Are you kidding me? What Berger did was obstruction of justice - obstruction of a congressional inquiry into the 911 disaster - on 3 different occasions, he deliberatly hid top secret documents that he knew the committe would uncover - and destroyed them.
And you think what he got was tough? I'll bet he didn't pay a cent of the $50,000 fine - and for losing his security clearance - that is about as bad as Clinton losing his license to practice law in Arkansas -
Just think of you or I would have done something like that. Libby has so much more to lose - Berger was already gone - Libby still has his job to do
