Libby sentenced

Scooter Libby was sentenced today to 2 1/2 years in prison and fined $250,000 for lying about what he knew in the CIA leak case.

The question that I have, like many other people, is when they will actually prosecute the person or persons who committed treason when they revealed the secret identity of Valerie Plame, perhaps America's foremost expert on weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. If a job like hers isn't safe, why would anyone want to risk their lives and become a spy?

It still sickens me that the people responsible are likely still employed by the White House and quite possibly George W. Bush knows exactly who did this horrid deed. Very likely, we will never know the truth; and for a dedicated career servant like Plame who's not even allowed to tell her side of the story or for her husband Joe Wilson who did tell the truth about WMD (or the lack thereof) in Western Africa, that's the ultimate insult.

You have been reading the lefty-playbook too long.

Plame was not undercover, her name was general knowledge and was released by a State Department employee . . . fact!!
Libby could not remember who he said what to about an incident that didn't happen.
Wilson lied . . . said the VP sent him to Niger. He lied to the CIA . . . fact!!!
Sadam did buy "Yello cake" from Niger . . . fact!!!
They found a ton and a half in Iraq.

Watch and see if the indited "Jefferson" gets treated as badly as Libby by the media. Jefferson was the Dimmicrat with the $90,000 in his freezer.
