...........It showed the lengths to which Cheney went in early summer 2003 to discredit administration critic Joseph Wilson. The former ambassador's assertions had cast doubt on the administration's justification for having taken the country to war in Iraq. And the Libby case showed the president assisting Cheney in the leaked attacks on Wilson. Libby, who was Cheney's chief of staff, was found guilty on Tuesday of four of five counts of obstructing justice, lying and perjury during an investigation into the administration's disclosure of the identity of undercover CIA official Valerie Plame, Wilson's wife. The verdict "does great damage to the Bush administration," said Paul C. Light, professor of public service at New York University. "It undermines the president's pledge of ethical conduct. But the most serious consequence is that it will raise questions about Cheney's durability in office. It may be time for Cheney to submit his resignation."... Wilson, a retired career diplomat, had accused the administration of manipulating intelligence to build its case to invade Iraq................. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070306/ap_on_go_pr_wh/leak_trial_analysis What can you say about this DICK ....Cheney?
They hung Libby out to dry on this one. These psychopaths will stop at absolutely nothing to save their corrupt asses. Well that has to go down as "most obvious quote of the day."
Why has no one been charged with "outing a CIA agent"? Libby was only charged with lying....explain that one...I especially love the quote from the guy at New York U....this may be the time for Cheney to resign...gee, wonder what side of the fence he sits on???
Relax d16man, nothing will ever happen to your heroes Bush and Cheney. These people are literally above the law, and that is one of the reasons that we are in such a mess at the moment. They are quite literally untouchable, it should never have been allowed but it has. Bush and Cheney are quite literally getting away with murder. That is what happens when world leaders are given carte blanche. Hillary will also have the same when she comes into power next year and the disaster will continue unabated.
Most likely not. In the worst case, he will need to wait about 1.5 year before getting a presidential pardon. He will probably wait out this time by launching different appeals so he won't need to serve time inside.
