Looks like Fitzgerald was setting up Libby from the start, and using this non-case to settle political and personal scores (Libby, Judith Miller)

I have to wonder if perhaps Mr. Libby has agreed to take one for the team. Perhaps he feels that some of the sworn testimony that could come out during the trial will make up for the problems this whole unfortunate incident has caused him and his family.
I sincerely hope that is the case. Although a big part of me fears this is just another example of the Right being unable to defend themselves when attacked.

Gonzales hired him, Gonzales can fire him at any time. Why he continues to permit this farce in the wake of the Armitage nuke, is beyond me. Along with this, the border agents outrage, the "Dog" Chapman betrayal to Mexico and most of all, the Sandy Berger wrist-slap shows an Attorney General who is totally incompetent.
Yes, Mr. Libby is charged with perjury and obstruction of justice, which are serious offenses.
I would say so. Didn't President Clinton get in trouble for perjury. I don't feel sorry for Libby any more than I did President Clinton. He deserves some sort of punishment. No???
