151. It's a shame the writer of this article and many of the people commenting don't know the facts. Mr. Libby was NOT "busted for leaking a CIA agent's identity, putting her life in jeopardy". Not only was she not serving in a secret agent capacity at the time, but it has come out that Mr. Armitage was actually the leaker of her name. Poor Scooter Libby was only a scapegoat for a prosecutor who was determined to get someone in the administration on something...so they found Mr. Libby guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice because he didn't properly remember the exact dates he said what to whom. Now tell me...how many of you can remember what date you told a certain person a certain fact, or even for sure who you told it to? It's all a sham, and thank goodness, President Bush commuted the excessive sentence. It should be a pardon. Most of all the pardons President Clinton gave were for actual criminals. Why didn't all the liberals who are yelling fowl right now say something about the illegalities of what Clinton has done????

This country is in a sad state of affairs when what is right is considered wrong, and what is wrong is considered right.

152. This is just one more CORRUPT BUSH deal - letting the 3X convicted FELON Libby go free.

154. Scooter isn't guilty. Parris is guilty. Clinton made the mistake when he pardoned all those people. But somehow Hilary and Democrates think it's okay that Bill did it though he was wrong. Did people forget that someone else admitted to the CIA leak? The true guilty one. People are blind because they want to blame Bush for everyhing. Most people who hate Bush don't have a good reason. Scooter Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice. He lied to federal agents investigating who leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press. He was not "busted for leaking a CIA agent's identity".

155. Please get your facts straight. Scooter Libby was not found guilty for leaking a "covert" operative's name. Once it was found out who really "leaked" her identity, the libs realized they couldn't get Cheney, so they kept hunting down Libby and finally, when the man had conflicting accounts of passing conversations said over 5 years prior, they got him on perjury. A man's life is destroyed ($250,000, loss of law license, name besmirched) all because those who hate the Bush Administration had to make someone pay for the monomanical hatred.

156. President Bush pardoning Libby is not a big deal.

Hillary Clinton attacked President Bush for pardoning Libby what about her husband?

JUDGE JUDY BEFORE YOU JUDGE PRESIDENT BUSH LOOK WHAT YOUR HUSBAND

DID. he pardoned 141 cases one of that is his brother, McDougal's etc.

May I remind you Hillary Clinton that your husband had an affair with Monica Lewinsky

and you should be ashamed of that because your husband has to look for another

woman 20 years younger than you because President Clinton is not satisfied with you.

Your marriage with President Clinton is just a "show" and I don't see any emotional

connections with your marriage.

Hillary before you judge President Bush, look inside your heart and your husband

focus on your family's problem before you focus on someone else.

I DON'T SEE YOU HILLARY CLINTON THAT YOU WILL BE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR

PRESIDENT BECAUSE I KNOW AMERICA WILL BE THE WORST COUNTRY IF YOU

EVER BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE US. HOW CAN YOU BE A PRESIDENT?

HOW CAN YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF AMERICA, THE WAR IN IRAQ YOU DON'T

EVEN KNOW HOW TO HANDLE YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR DAUGHTER.

HILLARRY CLINTON THE WORST AND THE WORST AND THE WORST WOMAN, WIFE

AND A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT EVER LIVED. AMERICA WILL BE BANKCRUPT

IF YOU VOTE FOR HER. WATCH OUT SHE WILL MESS YOUR LIFE.

157. "Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald said Plame was covert. I'll believe him any day over the Right wing spin."

If this is true, then why wasn't Richard Armitage, who admitted to outing her, charged with a crime?

Oh, right. Because he was a critic of the war. (Read: He was on the "right" side.) He leaked it so he could sit back and let the administration be framed for it.

So thanks for that. It sheds light on another piece of evidence that this whole thing was a political witch hunt.

158. Libby was not the leaker - all he did was lie on the stand...hmmm like just about everyone else in that joke of a trial. No one else was sentenced! They found the leaker & gave him a pass! Libby was a scapegoat. He didn't deserve jail time. Paris certainly did. She could have killed someone.
