Maybe because it was a trumped up political charge by an obsessed, out-of-control prosecutor.
I’m delighted that Libby will avoid prison, of course, but I am greatly disappointed in this statement from President Bush. He concedes far too much political and legal terrain to the depraved Demagogues and I remain convinced he should have gone on the offensive and trashed the partisan, dishonest investigation and trial carried out by the Fitzfong. In trying to appear even-handed he merely concedes to the ‘RATs that this whole sordid saga was justified, when in fact it was not!!
