Oh, these scoundrels. They are guilty as hell but use the family card to avoid taking responsibility. 'too hard on his young family.' Codswallop. What about the fact it is hard on his young family, because he is a criminal. If he was innocent and wanted vindication, he would have pursued the appeal at any cost. Most likely some stooge in a three piece suit said 'Shut up. You are going to upset the apple cart and Mr. Cheney doesn't like that. We'll take care of you. Here's some money.'

What is this 'we' business? Do you have more than one personality crawling around in your brain pan? Do you hear voices too? Have you talked to any burning bushes lately? Do they talk back? As usual, you neocons jump to conclusions with no fact to back you up. Is one of your 'personalities' Dickhead Cheney? You assume that I am a liberal. I'm not. -Luke

You're a curmudgeon.

Libby was convicted for 'Obstruction' of justice, as if justice was what he got. He walked into a grand jury, without a lawyer (a real lawyer) and simply told them the truth.

The jury, promptly convicted him, citing by word, that they thought he outed Val Plame, when Richard Armitage admitted to it, but his testimony was gagged.

All I can say is wait until it happens to you.

Assumptions again. Wrong again. A curmudgeon is a crusty, ill-tempered old man. I am none of that. As for the rest of your pap, he was charged, and he was convicted by a jury of his peers after a fair trial. The presiding Judge sentenced him. That makes him a criminal. If that isn't american justice, I don't know what is, short of a vigilante lynching party. So, you, being an apologist for all things republican, speak from your prats. By the way, who gave you the word 'curmudgeon?' Like your hero, Bush, you should get somebody to look up the words in a dictionary and then, in very simple language, explain the meanings to you. -Luke

Libby got caught... do you realize how much underhanded b.s. goes on that we don't hear about? Campaign contributions, kick backs, stock options, specially created consultant positions, excessive gifts, free sex... You like to beat up on the President, but you really should be hammering the Congress. They pass all the trash and reward themselves year after year...

SP4 seems to be a complete nut case. Get a life guy and go back to surfing your animal p orn.

...but that still does not change the facts. Libby was not charged with outing Plame, becuase THAT is not against the law!

Richard Armitige ADMITTED to the prosecutor, he did it! End of story. That being the case, Libby was brought in to testify about something that was NOT against the law! Whats next, talk about the weather???

Now, am I the only person who see's a problem with this...you go to the police...they sup

True he was convicted, but for what...making a mistake to a grand jury he could have plead the 5th to?

No, someone above needs to pull the tinfoil cap off and get out of mom's basement more often.

Besides, what, actually, did Lou Libby do wrong EVEN IF HE DID out Plame?


She was NOT a covert agent. She was NOT overseas.

THOUSANDS of people KNEW she worked for the CIA. NONE of this is against the law.

How f--ked up is that?

To quote from your ramblings:'How f--ked up is that?' I ask this question: How f--ked up are you? Beyond redemption, I fear.

Here everyone goes - picking on SP4 again! You have to admit he keeps things interesting and is good at goading everyone with his rhetoric or rantings -whichever. He doubtless believes everything he writes but does it for effect. At any rate, he has to have his nose in every paper and book constantly to come up with his constant tirade. Republicans are his heroes - bar none, but Libby deserves everything he got. As for a young family - this old guy??

Again SP4 makes a fool out of himself. He is yet to be right on this board. He lies like his heros. No credibility goes with a fool like him.
