Scooter Libby has bene indicted on several charges, but with none of them realting to leaking any information and all of them resulting from the investigation itself. Yes, Libby lied, and he should be punished every bit as harshly as Sandy Berger should have been when he stole classified documents from the National Archives, then destroyed some of those documents, and then lied about it. Berger, however, was a Clinton man, so the media let him off. Libby is a Bush man, so nothing short of jail time will make them happy. Bush had promised to fire anyone involved int he leak. There are no allegations from the prosecutor that Libby was involved, so he did not get fired. He did, however, resign. Good for him, showing some integrity in a bad situation.

To sum up, a law may or may not have been broken, revealing the identity of a covert agent who was not covert in any way (and didn't try hard to hide it, seeing as she helped to send her husband on a high-profile trip, she had to know that questions were going to be asked and that her flimsy cover wouldn't hold up when neighbors knew she worked at CIA), and the subsequent investigation failed to find if there really was a leak. Instead we spent millions of taxpayer dollars over two years and counting, and the only illegality found was created by the investigation itself. Let's start investigating Howard Dean. I'm sure he can be caught in a lie or inconsistency at some point, and then we can indict him for lying to a prosecutor, too.
