"...a close reading of the testimony and evidence in the case is more revelatory, bringing into bolder relief a portrait of a vice president with free rein to operate inside the White House as he saw fit in order to debunk the charges of a critic of the war in Iraq.
The evidence in the trial shows Vice President Dick Cheney and Mr. Libby, his former chief of staff, countermanding and even occasionally misleading colleagues at the highest levels of Mr. Bush’s inner circle as the two pursued their own goal of clearing the vice president’s name in connection with flawed intelligence used in the case for war."

Just another example of things in life being EXACTLY what they seem to be.

I was arguing with a Republican buddy of mine earlier today: He says the Libby trial will end in a hung jury, I say guilty as a mofo, and a sentence of maybe two years at Club Fed, but with an immediate pardon from the Idiot-in-Chief.
Damn shame that Cheney isn't on trial.
Hmmm...my guess is, guilty, released while appealing sentence, then pardoned at New Years when no one is paying attention. Or you know, the day we invade Iran or some other massive distraction.
