If you haven't heard/read by now, President George W. Bush eliminated the jail sentence portion for "Scooter" Libby for his role in obstructing justing during the investigation into the outing of CIA operative, Valerie Plame. What was done to Valerie Plame just because her husband, Joe Wilson, had gone public with his doubts about the statements the Bush administration had been making about Iraq, stating that facts had been "twisted" to make the case for war, was nothing more than revenge of the worst sort. There can be no doubt that the decision to leak her name came from Cheney or Rove. Another thing that always bothered me was that two journalists were jailed for refusing to name their sources on this story - yet neither one printed the story. The one who did the actual outing, Robert Novac, he was never questioned, never went to jail... I tell you this whole thing stinks to high heaven. Perhaps now the American people will start to see it as well.
The best coverage of the story is actually on a blog. It is here. It is short, but provides links to go deeper into the story - fantastic coverage!
