The Plame Case

We're still waiting to see whether Scooter will go to jail or get a pardon.

On that point, the prosecutor, Pat Fitzgerald, has filed papers stating that Valerie Plame was indeed a covert CIA agent at the time her identity was leaked to the press. Libby's possible sentence is three years. I thought that outing a covert agent was considered treasonous. I must be wrong, or surely Scooter would be on his way to Guantanamo.

Newsweek reports that Libby's trial established that Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer also provided information to reporters about Plame's identity. When will we see their trials?

Fitzgerald's filing also reminds us that Libby's testimony indicated that Dick Cheney may have sanctioned Libby's leak. When will we see his trial?


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
