Libby was convicted of lying to a grand jury, not of leaking any information.
Should you let him go because all he did was lie? he obviously did not leak the name if they did not convict him of that, right?
Or are you hypocrites?

And if you say, "since he lied, he must have leaked the name", does that mean that "since Clinton lied, that means he committed sexual assualt", since that was what he was being investigated for when he lied to the grand jury?
Are are you going to be hypocrites?

oh, I see,, "lying to cover up sexual assault is ok"

Libby lied and tried to cover up for what he thought was a crime.
Clinton lied and tried to cover up his marital infidelity.
It believe there IS a difference.

Lying about leaking the name of an undercover CIA Agent, and lying about getting oral action are two entirely different matters. The sad thing is that Dick Cheney and Carl Roves should be going to jail along side Libby! Oh, and I'd say it is the Republicans who are the hypocrites - the think Libby is just being railroaded, but they wanted Clinton impeached!

Apparently you dont know how the political game is played.
If you did, you would know that just like we didnt get Capone for murder and racketeering, we got him for Tax Evasion.
Because it was the best way, the easiest way to convict a guilty man, without others able to cloud the issue, tr to appeal, or whatever.
The bottom line is hes a convicted felon right now. Plain and simple.
Nomatter how much you whine or try to cloud the other issues hes guilty!
Stop whining and just deal with it!

I know where you're coming from. They so much wanted Clinton's thing to be about sex but it wasn't. It simply was a felony with the exact same charges as Libby.
If Monica gave Libby a BJ and he lied about it, his wife might be running for president this time. Isn't that how it works? LOL
So they want Clinton's thing to be about sex and Libby's thing to be about exposing national security issues.
I think that should give voters an idea who they should trust. Someone that says, "This is the worst economy since the Great Depression" or someone that doesn't need to make up whoppers to get elected. Let's face it, if you have to lie to get elected then more than likely you're not going to be honest in office.

Lying about a BJ: BAD
Lying about being involved of outing of a government spy (aka someone risking their life serving their country): INEXCUSABLE
No, it is not the same argument, because they are not even close to being the same issue. It does not matter if he actually leaked it, he was part of the conspiracy that could have resulted in a woman's death and/or divulging of national secrets to foreign enemies.
Clinton just got head.

Libby was found guilty of a felony, Clinton was never convicted of anything. The next head to roll in this mess will be Cheney's. I think you've taken way too many idiot pills today.

Speaking of hypocrites:.....Libby is was a normal scum. Clinton was a president whose only real mistake in that situation was: not to tell us all to stay out of wheree his zipper closes. I feel that you are amongst them Americans whom could not ever get one...and so, ...you are "so sore" on the president.
Now you answer this?...when was ever a president voted or kept in office based on wher he placed his "D--k?".....Eisenhower and Kennedy (John) couldn't even go one night without a "new-one" while the little lady minded the kitchen...or whatever...Clinton will always be amongst the great presidents we ever had. If you deny this...then you must "unearth" Eisenhower and Kennedy and bring them to "your Court" of Justice.
Clinton was good for America and that is a fact.

Libbys a criminal, a convicted felon. As i remember, the right wing attack dogs were never able to convict Clinton of anything, he needs no defending, he did nothing wrong,, Mr Libby,, your no Bill Clinton.
