This has a VERY easy bottom line - Libby is being indicted for lying to the Grand Jury. What he lied about was how they conducted the smear/retaliation on Wilson (deservedly so, IMO).
For some stupid reason, Libby lied before the Grand Jury about the smear. No one did anything wrong until the Special Prosecutor convened a Grand Jury. What was wrong was the lying about what they were doing.
Libby deserves to be fired for the stupidity of lying to the Grand Jury.
Too late - he resigned this morning.
"Libby deserves to be fired for the stupidity of lying to the Grand Jury."
What are you talking about?!? Libby hasn't been found guilty of anything. In fact, he is presumed innocent. You've only heard one side of the story -- a weak story at that. The indictment makes no sense. In the absence of any crime, why would a smart lawyer like Libby lie about conversations that he had with four other gov't officials? Surely he knew that they would testify to the Feds about their conversations with Libby. Something is very fishy here. I'm sure Libby has a much different version of events.
