Libby Indictment
After cogitating on it over the weekend in between successfully rooting for Georgia Tech to win and the University of Georgia to lose, I have decided the indictment of Libby is pretty thin gruel. It looks to me the matter comes down to Libby saying he learned Valerie Plame's occupation from reporters and the prosecutor saying he learned it from Cheney or some other place and therefore was lying to the FBI and to the Grand Jury. Since nobody was indicted for outing her, and she apparently wasn't outed, it escapes me what difference it makes. Until someone shows me Libby had some dark ulterior motive to lie and mislead the investigators, no crime was committed in my view.
