Libby case is a bore

Washington Post had an article today about the Libby case. First off, it is as clear as day what this whole thing is about.... getting at Cheney. But what a weak case. Libby lied because they wanted to pay back Joe Wilson for being a liberal. And that pay back was to supposedly give out the whereabouts of his wife. Well, everyone knows where she was at because she gave that information away.

I also like how Goldstein and Leonning know that Cheney was infuriated by Wilson.

What I don't get is why Libby is at fault for giving out information that Plame had been giving out for quite some time. My memory is hazy on this part, but I remember something about her location not being secret because she had given it up through public documents and what not. I don't know. If I find something on it later, I'll post it.

This case is crazy, and I'm sure he has done something wrong in the past. But I believe the reason this case is lasting as long as it is is because of the White House connections. Any way to hold them in a negative light will provoke immediate action.
