Comments on: Juror: Libby Was "The Fall Guy"

Jurors Say They Sympathized With Former White House Aide But Simply Didn't Believe His Story

My friends, sometimes the most difficult thing about fighting evil is realizing that it actually exists, and then unambiguously and forcefully calling it what it is.

History shows time and time again that one of evils greatest strengths is its ability to disguise itself as good, or at least a temporary necessity, until that last fatal moment when its revelation becomes clear, indisputable, and inescapable.

So today let us take a clear and unadulterated look into the mirror at ourselves.

Just six years ago we were one of the most respected and admired defenders of democracy and human rights in history. Respected not only by our friends, but even begrudgingly by most of our enemies. In fact, even the fantastic power of our military paled in comparison to the overwhelming might of our moral authority.

Today we are a nation that operates secret prisons occupied by anonymous inmates, illegally abducted and held indefinitely without charge or representation. We are guilty of torture. We are guilty of murder. We are guilty of preemptive war of conquest. We are guilty of the wholesale surveillance of our population, suppressing all hope of privacy and free dissent. And we are guilty of disgracing our nation through the abandonment of even our most basic precepts of morality.

If this is not evil, then nothing we have ever fought against is evil, and nothing we have ever fought for is good.

Let's stick to the facts," Collins said. "This was not a case about, 'Who can we punish for going into Iraq?' We didn't go there. This wasn't about the war."


I'm sure there was a balance between dems-repubs on this jury - and they were able to face their task with objectivity and seriousness - a big hurrah for these Americans !

Untrue.

You have offered your conscience, and pronounced your loyalty, to our great nation.

A gift beyond any measure.

Thank you fellow patriot.

The prosecutors really need to go after the true criminals in the case. Cheney is the biggest slimeball, Bush is the idiot who does whatever Cheney tells him to do, and Rove is one of Cheney's stoolies.

I'm betting with a lengthy appeals process and an end-of-term pardon by the president, Libby won't serve day one.

This is for seven pesos; Your Hatred is void of FACT, just more Rhetoric. I suggest you wallow in your Vile and leave the rest of the World alone. Or better yet, give the rest of the Democrats room to squirm. You are to kind in your assesment that all of the uneducated are from the South. Those you refer to are more likely than not Well educated. They haven't been manipulated like the Liberals of the West or East. When you refer to Christians or people of Faith, what your doing is merely crying out. Because you have no direction and live with no meaning, You're a failure . Individuals like you must find your way, try putting your head into the comode, flush three times to be certain your liberal ways are washed away. This is common practice when Exorcisms are performed on those posessed by liberal tendencies, of course if it doesn't take the first time it must be repeated.
If this doesn't work, the typical "L" should be given a one way ticket to France.

I'm crying crocodile tears for Libby. He didn't have the decency or the conscience to just tell the truth. He's a fall guy by choice. He'll no doubt be rewarded handsomely for taking one for the team.


Bush's administration is full of former fellons who did the same. That's why they call them neoCONS.

bush lied...

thousands died, maybe millions. but they still love bush in the south.

another sad story of death and destruction that comes out of the bush loving slave state south.

war, hate, division, arrogance, death and destruction...

the south never does good for america.

the south will never change...

rednecks, white trash, reborns, crooked republican snakes, twisted evangelist screws, ignorant, uneducated and hated by the rest of america

nothing good comes of the south!
