Well you are right, the left just won't let this go.
The whole affair stunk to high heaven and Fitzgerald's investigation was a sham, an he being a Republican, what a laugh.
They knew early on it was Armitage and he admitted it was him yet they focus on Cheny and Libby, with Libby going down for not that but allegedly lying to a federal agent.
Now what I really find fault with is Bush not giving Libby a pardon as he knew Libby was innocent.

Libby was found guilty because Tim Russert’s neighbor and frequent party guest who just happened to be the jury foreman, thought that Russert’s recollection of a five minute conversation made more sense than Libby’s.
Nothing more.
The fact that DC is a festering pile of felons and political cronies makes any potential jury pool as clean as the local sewer.

According to Tony Snowe (on “Fox News Sunday”) Bush feared the Left would use Libby’s pardon as a weapon to attack Republicans in the election like they did with Ford pardoning Nixon.

Common decency required that Bush give Libby a full pardon and provide the public with an explanation, so more people would learn the facts of the case. Bush couldn't even manage that. It was pathetic and contemptible, one of his worst failures in office.
