Libby Gets 30 Months

While it's good to see some justice brought to this case, I can't help but feel as though the big fish keep getting away. Cheney was involved and Rove is at the heart of every scandal. The revelation that Plame was covert at the time of her outing means this can no longer be dismissed by those on the right (Hannity, O'Reilly, and all the other lemmings) as a baseless witch hunt. Libby was certainly guilty, but he's merely a fall guy to appease the masses.

If the tables were turned and this was happening to a Democratic administration, the Republicans would be discussing impeachment daily. They would scoff at the idea of a man like Libby committing treason and receiving just 30 months. Clinton lied about having sex with a woman and the same hypocritical Republicans who are now downplaying this case were on that like white on rice. This is utterly absurd.
