Scapegoat.

They had to charge someone with something... all that money spent on an investigation into a crime that it turns out, did not take place.

[Msterbeau]

So.... nobody, told anybody... about anything?

What anyone told doesn;t matter. Val was not covert, so could not be outed. The prosicuter already said that.. like months ago.

Are you differentiating between the belief that her position was "common knowledge in Washington" and her name being used on national media? Whispering between politicians is not exactly the same as having her name and photo plastered on TVs and newspapers. Fitzpatrick didn't determine that Plame's status was not covert, he just determined that Libby didn't know about her status. There's evidence both ways as to her status as an undercover agent deserving of protection and thus making her outing illegal. My reading of it all says she was. There's too much convoluted stuff and too much unknown from Cheney, Bush, Rove and others at that level to really know all the details. In any case, I think Libby is going down for someone else's actions.

Marc, by CIA standards, she was not covert. She was working int he US for 7 years. By CIA standards, after you have been in the States for 5 years, you are no longer covert. It's no longer a crime for people to talk about you working for the CIA. The CIA testified to that, Kilpatrick admitted that in an interview a few months ago. I saw him admit it again on the news within the last few days. I have seen Democtrat talking heads wondering why this investigation was still going on because it was all a waste of money because it was determined early on that no actual crime took place.

No laws were broken.

This was all just failed politics.

eh, thye planned on blaming him so bush could pardon his ass... conviction, without reprocussions... gets people off everyone else's ass & he still won't get in trouble... :erm

I think it was the same crap.. but maybe a different species of crapper... that they did to Clinton. You know... that whole god damn blow job thing. They had all those damn investigations going on over him being a pig and after a long investigation that didn't give them shit to work with... they got him to testify under oath. And they hammered him... and b eing human... he eventually screwed up and admitted he was getting hummers on the oval office. Turns out, thats all they could get him on. So, they ran with... and honestly... they didn't try very damn hard. Same shit with Libby. They ran with a case that was pure politcis from the begining. When they got shit in the end... they prosacuted whom ever they could for what ever they could.

And it did the same thing as it did before. If got your attention in an election year.

American politics and the Truth is like playing Cups and Ball. Except there is about 4000 cups and 1 ball, thats invisible. So, even if you find it, you wont know that you have.

should read "Libby found guilty of somthing.... now in league with Martha Stewart... also found guilty of somthing'

neither one of them was convicted for what they originaly went after.... just "obstructing justice" and lying.

I know that if some Federal prosecuter was trying to stick a poverbial legal "red hot poker" up my ass, I would obstruct the shit out of him too...

By the way... I am really sad that Valerie Plame was killed in action by Kim Jong Il's henchmen after she was outed as working for the CIA..... oh wait... that was a 007 movie... Valerie Plame was more like a secretary.... a Moneypenny as it were.... and HAD NO COVER TO BE BLOWN especially after her name was listed publically as an employee of the CIA several years before. Too bad Scooter lied to investigators under oath before the fact that she had previously been outed came out. He should have either said nothing... or just pretended that he had mysteriously become a retard and could not answer questions intelligently any more. THats my plan.

I got lots o for the prosecuters who wasted taxpayer money on this one.

[Msterbeau]

Yeah... But did we spend as much on this as we did on Monicagate? :-)
