Libby found guilty

Posted on March 10, 2007 by probabilityZero

Libby was found guilty on four out of five counts in the CIA leak case. Dick Cheney’s former aid lied to government investigators about what happened in the build-up to the war in Iraq.

In 2003, Ambassador Joseph Wilson revealed that the Bush administration had exaggerated the Iraq threat in his New York Times op-ed entitled “What I Didn’t Find in Africa,” referring to Iraq’s alleged purchase of Yellowcake from Niger. In retaliation, White House officials leaked the CIA identity of his wife to columnist and overall asshole Robert Novak.

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald led an investigation to determine who was involved in this leak, and the investigation has recently found that Libby was involved and deliberately lied about his part in the leak. The grand jury investigation is far from over, and by the end of this we may even see Cheney and Rove being brought up on charges…

Well, I can dream, can’t I?

    I wish we could see Cheney are Rove brought up on charges, but I’m afraid Bush will pardon Libby before we get our wish.
