And on CNN last night, despite the FACTS in evidence, Larry King still was wanting to interject Karl Rove into the mix! Pathetic BDS sufferers!

Dream on.

Cheney’s retirement “for health reasons” over the next couple weeks would be quite coincidental.

Wilson and Plame, the reason for this travesty, are about to become Hollywood’s new dream heroes who will re-enact the their crime of setting up the Bush administration as liars.

Plame was not a covert CIA agent at the time, Wilson lied in his NY TImes op-ed about yellowcake and Niger but Libby is convicted, not for the original crime but a new Fitzgerald manufactured crime, Libby’s perjury for failing to remember exactly what he said to a reporter about Plame’s non-covert identity.

How come there is no concern that the CIA claimed that it was the White House (specifically Cheney) who sent Wilson when it was Wilson’s wife who set up the trip? And, how come Wilson conveniently returned with an accessment that Niger/yellowcake had nothing to do with Saddam (a lie itself since Bush stated that British intelligence have determined that Saddam was attempting to procure uraniumn from Africa) and published this lie in an op-ed of the NY Times.

The Bush Lied crowd was conned by some world-class con-artists but their hatred of Bush is so profound they accept the con without hestitation. In other words, blinded by groupthink.

It is easy to see how Bushhaters believe without question in Al Goracle’s Global Warming hoax.

Prosecurors have an almost unlimited ability to get an indictment. The old saw about the ham sandwich comes to mind. But Fitz could not get enough information from all the people that he grilled? He had to settle for claiming Libby lied. There is, whether you see it or not, something very wrong in that.

And Wilson’s Who’s Who entry negates everything about Plame being covert, does it not?

It is curious that the jury thought that Libby was less trustworthy than Tim Russert or Matt Cooper, when it came down to it though the jury did find that Cooper wasn’t nearly as trustworthy as Russert. All had motives here to be less than forthcomin….

How come no one is concerned with the secret alien technology stored at Area 51?

It’s because we’re not interested in wasting our time with stupid conspiracy theories.

The Libby trial verdict is in: Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was convicted Tuesday of lying and obstructing a leak investigation that reached into the highest levels of the Bush administ…

Any crime about outting CIA personnel is still possible, but the Libby trial wasn’t about that issue.

All Libby had to do was say nothing, or simply say I don’t remember, he didn’t. He activly answered the questions put to him. He blew it. But Libby is just a minion of the VP office. If you’ve been around the world long enough little fish problems are always linked to big fish troubles.

With all the information out there and I had to place bets, I’d bet Cheney was up to his eyesballs in this;
Which is stupid because all Cheney had to do was ignore Wilson’s report.

As Washington insiders like to note: “It’s not the crime, It’s the cover up that kills you.”

Very interesting trial, but I have to agree with the jury on this one.

I have the feeling Fritz is like a wolf lurking in the dark awaiting the VP’s office next move.

Help me out here. Prosecutors are supposed to be able to prove their cases even when there’s obstruction of justice?

Prosecuting obstruction itself is “wrong,” and of course the crime will never be found out as long as the accused can lie with impunity!

Excellent social model described here; no conviction of anything, ever.

Everyone on board with that?

How come none is concerned with a covert shadow government operating within the Washington Beltway?

Here are some of the reactions of sites on my blogrolls talking about today’s verdict in the Scooter Libby trial.
……

I'm sure everyone and their mother is blogging it. One thing I would point out
WASHINGTON – Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted Tuesday of lying and obstructing a leak investigat…

WORD TO THE WISE: Standing MUTE is a good policy.

As to President Clinton – HE LIED TO A GRAND JURY and he lost his law license (which he has never bothered to retrieve) and he admitted those lies only when he was forced to do so. Again, the man whose duty it was to defend and protect the people and the CONSTITUTION of the United States LIED TO A GRAND JURY. And as an attorney, he really, truly should have known better and behaved more appropriately. But then, he was a lawyer – what can you expect!?
