No, I'm a conservative, as opposed to a GOP cheerleader. Conservatives believe that lying to a GJ is a crime. You apparently believe it is a crime unless a GOP official does it.

Well said. I don't think justice was perverted today. While not every government official gets fired and thrown in jail for false statements under oath (*cough Clinton cough*) at least one has today. He was judged according to a jury of his peers. I trust the system. I find it highly unlikely that his high priced lawyers would have lost the case if he was actually innocent.

Except for Libby, I can't think of one. I'm sure there may be 1 or 2, but maybe you could educate me. In any event, for the most part, this prosecution was useless and absurd.

Given the jurors' question to the judge on Day 10...it appears they were confused and unclear as to what charges Libby was even facing! One could argue that some of those high priced lawyers didn't do their job if the jurors were still so confused. Who knows what faulty thinking led to the guilty verdicts on the other counts as well. Grounds for new trial? Maybe.
