IF Libby committed perjury he will have to face the legal consequences (and he should). Whatever the story of the Libby's testimony turns out to be, that will not change the fact that this is a sham investigation driven by a ludicrous effort by MSM reporters and Demagogues to concoct a case against the administration that never should have been taken seriously in the first place (Joe Wilson's asinine and incoherent recitations of nonsense, etc.).

Libby is responsible for any legal consequences he may have incurred IF he gave any untruthful testimony, but that should not distract from the far more important issue: the shameless charlatans who concocted and sustained the whole ludicrous "Niger uranium" story in the media.

I agree, and also think that Libby did perjure himself. He had a security clearance, and appears to have revealed info that he received from the CIA. This info was about Plame and was marked classified. Seems like he tried to cover this by saying reporter A B and C mentioned it to him, before he told them. OK, if that's correct, just why isn't he charged with violating his security clearance? Is the punishment for that less than the obstruction-perjury charge? Did Fitzgerald think the leak was so minor, causing no real harm, and just continue the investigation to trap Libby into a lie?
