As Dave Lindorff puts it, "the fall guy has fallen"
Three and a half years and a long bloody war after he and a gang of war-mongers in the White House and Blair House, including President Bush and Vice President Cheney, set out to undermine and trash the reputation of an Iraq war critic, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, Libby has been found guilty of perjury, lying to the FBI and obstruction of justice by a Washington jury.
The trials shouldn't end there, now is the time to clean out the entire roach nest:
read this article for a quick synopsis of why this trial is so important and why this constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors and why impeachment proceedings need to follow. Don't worry about the votes. It is our duty as citizens to leader our representatives in the right direction.
Now maybe what passes for journalists in the mainstream media can get down to the real business of finding out just why the entire White House smear operation was unleashed upon a minor state department official and why they went so far as to violate federal law and expose his CIA-operative wife, Valerie Plame, in the process destroying her entire network of contacts for monitoring the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East.
Because that's what this whole Libby story is really about.
