Like Clinton why was he not charged with prejury?

Libby was railroaded. Had he been a democrat, he would have been given a medal, no doubt.

Yes, you are right. Sandy Berger's lies, the continuing lies about 9/11 and Oklahoma City and failure to get Bin Laden, the lies by Joe Wilson, (if you follow his contemporary reports not his revisons years later), all ad up to a disturbing picture of no one telling the truth about the failure to prevent bad things happening, all we know for certain is nothing spectacular has happened since 9/11, but it's becoming apparent that terror related incidents like the Salt lake City shooting, will be made to look as non-terror related. If you show me an honest politician in Washington (or any place) that never lies I would faint. How do you think they get elected? By honest campaigning and clear thinking people deciding who the best qualified person is for the job? It's all a matter of compromise, those who get sloppy are the ones who get caught, it's the fact that they look foolish and lose credibility that neccessitates they leave office. I'm looking at joining some third party, reformed tree worshipping druid pygmie cannibals or something respectable sounding like that. See my question on Hegel, and maybe read George Orwell's "1984" sometime for kicks.

He was charged and convicted for perjury. He just happened to be pardoned by Dubya.
Hardwoods; I stand corrected. Libby's sentence was commuted. Honest mistake.

I think that Libby should have served all of the time that both Clinton & Sandy Berger served - its only fair.

He was charged with perjury, his sentence was commuted. Do a little research. He was not pardoned. Commuted means you were convicted, you just didn't have to serve time. And when you do your research, you will find that she was not a covert agent, and Armitage gave up her name.
Edit - Glen it wasn't directed at you.

Because it seems lying is okay when a Republican does it.
