Comments on: It's All Libby All The Time In Media

karlimhof, if what you mean by collateral damage is they got rich off this self created fiasco, then I would love some of that damage myself, don't you just love America!

Liberal Neo-Commies seem to be conducting their own Kangaroo court on this case.

The Jury said Libby was guilty of lying and obstructing justice. The case had nothing to do with outing a CIA agent. Actually, no one official evet said that a CIA agent was outed.

Cheney asked the CIA to look into the uranium story - he says he did, the CIA says he did - there's no dispute of this.

The CIA got it's experts in that area together (including Plame), and decided to send Wilson - no dispute of that either.

And this is the story Wilson has always told, the truth - an unfamiliar and terrifying thing in our White House right now.

For telling the truth, the White House decided to attempt to discredit him, with a feeble lie, and a bit of treason to let slip a formerly covert (and still secret) CIA agent's name and operations!

The CIA is outraged, and their credibility, secrecy, and operations are severely damaged. How do you recruit spies when your government may blow their cover at any time? Everyone Plame ever talked to is now outed - every single person who helped the USA out by giving information is now in danger, and no doubt some have been killed if they didn't run fast enough.

Yawnnnnn............

The CIA says that yes, this was illegal, wrong, and they were so outraged when Bush tried to just ignore this damage to the CIA and their operations that they DEMANDED an investigation. I'll take their word for it.

Just like the libs...selective outrage on most issues. Lying is suddenly wrong? Not recalling events, sloppiness...
Clinton lying under oath: Not wrong
Kennedy lying to cops about car wreck: Not wrong
Burger lying about stolen documents: Not wrong
Burger stealing the documents: Not wrong
Scooter lying about outing a non-covert CIA agent where the real leaker was already known: Hell no we can't have that...Burn Him!!!

Wilson NEVER claimed that Cheney sent him anywhere. The talking head pundits you get your info from are paid millions to lie to the American people. Do you do it for free?

You need to get on the gravy train brother.

Thank you perception5

No COVERT CIA Operative was outed.
It is not illigal to disclose the name of an individual simply because they work within the CIA. There never should have been a two year investigation. There was no crime. But, lets go ahead and crucify someone in the Bush admin. Lets blame Libby and this time lets forget that the Clinton administration made it acceptable to lie to a grand jury, Just like they taught our kids that a &*%$ job is not ***. I NEVER HAD *** WITH THAT WOMAN!

Libby Libby Libby that is how you keep bush and cheney out of this news.

Mr. Wilson should be going to jail for consistently lying about the facts of what "really" happened...... from the Washington Post this morning, the facts of this case:


"In conversations with journalists or in a July 6, 2003, op-ed, Wilson claimed to have debunked evidence that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger; suggested that he had been dispatched by Mr. Cheney to look into the matter; and alleged that his report had circulated at the highest levels of the administration.

A bipartisan investigation by the Senate intelligence committee subsequently established that all of these claims were false -- and that Mr. Wilson was recommended for the Niger trip by Ms. Plame, his wife. When this fact, along with Ms. Plame's name, was disclosed in a column by Robert D. Novak, Mr. Wilson advanced yet another sensational charge: that his wife was a covert CIA operative and that senior White House officials had orchestrated the leak of her name to destroy her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson.

The partisan furor over this allegation led to the appointment of special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald. Yet after two years of investigation, Mr. Fitzgerald charged no one with a crime for leaking Ms. Plame's name. The trial has provided convincing evidence that there was no conspiracy to punish Mr. Wilson by leaking Ms. Plame's identity -- and no evidence that she was, in fact, covert."- Washington Post
