I take no satisfaction over Scooter Libby being convicted on four of the five counts of obstructing justice in the Valerie Plame leak scandal. My worry is that the White House will simply say "Justice has been served" and then let anyone else in the executive who betrayed Plame get away with treason. Or give an outright pardon to Libby.
Leaking the name of a CIA agent -- especially one who was working on one of the very files of most concern to the world, namely Iran's WMD program -- is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. I can only wonder who else is going to be sacrificed next for a worthless war.
