| No further indictments to follow? So, in the end, it's just another Abu Graihb? The little guys end up taking the fall while the real problem just goes on at the highest levels... |

| The National Review's David Rivkin is already calling for a pardon for Scooter Libby. |

Libby Found Guility in CIA Leak Case
Bad news for Cheney...
| Quote: |
[The Libby trial] portrayed Cheney as more intimately involved in the details of orchestrating the campaign to disparage Wilson than was previously known. At the grand jury, Libby testified that Cheney was "disturbed" by Wilson's assertions that he was sent on the mission as a result of a question from Cheney about an assessment that suggested Iraq was trying to purchase buy from Niger. The clear implication of Wilson's argument was that Cheney would have been told of his findings.
Indeed, according to evidence at trial, the CIA notified Cheney in early 2002 that it was launching a mission with an unnamed envoy to better answer his question about the Iraq-Niger connection. It is unclear whether the CIA later flagged Wilson's findings for the vice president. |

| Fearless prediction. Libby will appeal. He will remain free on appeal. The appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal and USSC will take a year and a half or so. Just before Bush leaves office he will pardon Libby. Libby will get a book deal worth millions. |

Because not being an ass is so difficult?
It was quite late, I needed to go to bed, and EVERY news outlet of any size whatsoever was going to have this story coming out its butt. Now, when a story has limited sourcing, complain. Otherwise, shut up. |

About what I expect out of this. I just hope that they advance the case against Cheney and it drags on into 2009...

The prosecutor said it was unlikely other charges would be laid. We'll see.
Libby may win the appeal he wil certainly be pardoned. |

There's no way the Justice Department under this regime is going to allow anything else to go forward. As it stands, they've got their fall guy as with AG in Iraq and Wally North in the Iran/Contra affair. And, they're in position to pardon him and tell us all what a great, misunderstood patriot the poor fellow is.
Kuros: quit whining like freakin' two year-old. Of all the stories that needd a link, THIS was not one of them. I always link my posts when they are needed. The vast majority - including yourself - knew of it before you ever got to this site, ya lil' baby, because THIS ISN'T YOUR HOME PAGE.

Not only too lazy to link his story. But not even in command of basic facts. And still he runs rampant here.
Cue his entrance. He will call me "child" or "irrelevant" now... |

Thanks for covering the obvious for me, Dupher.
I find it hilarious you are so desperate to contradict anything I say that you actually get excited at me using the wrong first name of ol' Ollie and mix up the name of a baseball team. You are moving beyond irrelevant, boy.

Here's one of the next possible criminal indictments:
BBC Television had exposed 2004 voter attack scheme by appointee Griffin, a Rove aide.
Black soldiers and the homeless targeted.
| Quote: |
by Greg Palast
There�s only one thing worse than sacking an honest prosecutor. That�s replacing an honest prosecutor with a criminal.
...But the Committee missed a big one: Timothy Griffin, Karl Rove�s assistant, the President�s pick as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Griffin, according to BBC Television, was the hidden hand behind a scheme to wipe out the voting rights of 70,000 citizens prior to the 2004 election.
Key voters on Griffin�s hit list: Black soldiers and homeless men and women. Nice guy, eh? Naughty or nice, however, is not the issue. Targeting voters where race is a factor is a felony crime under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
...Overwhelmingly, these were Black and Hispanic voters from Democratic precincts.
The Griffin scheme was sickly brilliant. We learned that the RNC sent first-class letters to new voters in minority precincts marked, �Do not forward.�... soldiers,... homeless shelters... Edward Waters College, a school for African-Americans...
If these voters were not currently at their home voting address, they were tagged as �suspect� and their registration wiped out or their ballot challenged and not counted....
...Randall and other soldiers like him who sent in absentee ballots, when challenged, would lose their vote. And they wouldn�t even know it.
And by the way, it�s not illegal for soldiers to vote from overseas � even if they�re Black.
But it is illegal to challenge voters en masse where race is an element in the targeting. So several lawyers told us, including Ralph Neas, famed civil rights attorney with People for the American Way. |
