I have not scene the headlines today, but I expect they are trumpeting a major "defeat" for the Bush administration. I am of course referring to the Libby verdict handed down yesterday. Is it not fortunate that the case is referenced in such a way? I mean the way in which everyone calls it the "Scooter Libby" trial. It is sort of poetic that such a menial case filled with nonsensical minutia should have a rather convenient childish moniker. And would everyone please stop talking about the "outing" of a covert agent. Valerie Plame was not under anything. If a person is not under something, e.g. cover, they cannot be outed. Bottom line end of story. Do not listen to the talking heads on the left, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, and do not believe these idiots who still refer to this as a leak case. Scooter Libby was basically charged with perjury. In and of itself a fairly serious crime. I will give Fitzgerald that. But what a joke. I saw Plame's husband on T.V. last night babbling on about "his wife's life being in danger" and "the Bush administration targeting him". Please...the only danger his wife was in was if her sashimi appetizer was not fresh. There was no underlying crime! This case was not about Plame, Wilson, Bush, Cheney, or even Iraq. It was about a guy being grilled in front of a grand jury for eight hours by a special counsel with no oversight who needed to produce results. The funniest thing about this case is that it boils down to a "he said...she said" argument. Personally I wish I could sue Mr. Fitzgerald for my amount of tax dollars that were spent investigating, questioning, sleuthing, and only producing this. This, to borrow from old Billy S., much ado about nothing.
