Perjury

Well ... ok ... Libby was found not-guilty on account of making false statements to the FBI; but he was convicted on 4 others and stands to be in jail for up to 30 years :

Jury convicts Libby on four charges - Politics - MSNBC.com:

Libby faced two counts of perjury, two counts of lying to the FBI and one count of obstruction of justice. Prosecutors said he discussed Plame's name with reporters and, fearing prosecution, made up a story to make those discussions seem innocuous.

Libby's defense team said he learned about Plame from Cheney, forgot about it, then learned it again a month later from newsman Tim Russert of NBC’s “Meet the Press”. Anything he told reporters about Plame, Libby said, was just chatter and rumors, not official government information.

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said that was a lie. But Libby's defense team had argued that it would be unfair to convict Libby in a case where so many witnesses changed their stories or had memory problems.

“We think we made an appropriate decision, and we have no regrets,” Fitzgerald told reporters after the verdict was announced.

Dick Cheney though, is still at-large; alebit with a blood clot in his leg waiting to explode.

Just go this from Bob Fertik this morning:

EXPOSED! Bush's SOTU Big Lie

On the eve of Bush's State of the Union, five different news organzations (ABC, the New York Sun, Reuters, FOX News, and CBS) all revealed the stunning tale of a plot by Al Zarqawi to send 10-20 terrorists to the United States using student visas.

The only problem? It's pure bullshit that was rejected by the entire intelligence community. And Karl Rove's fingerprints are all over it.

But the story will be the centerpiece of Bush's State of the Union and will dominate the news for days.

Will Congressional Democrats fall for the last-minute SOTU bullshit?

Or will they demand sworn testimony - and the original forged documents upon which the whole fantasy rests?
