Libby Guilty on 4 of 5 Counts

Libby guilty in CIA leak case

Washington - Former vice-presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby was found guilty on Tuesday of four counts of lying, perjury and obstructing justice during an investigation tied to the Iraq war.

A win for out of control, over zealous prosecutors across the country.

This entire ordeal is really a sad commentary on our legal system A man gets convicted of a crime for lying about a peripheral fact about an underlying crime that never occured. He is likely facing jail time for something eminently trivial in the grand scheme of things yet Sandy Pants Burglar gets a slap on the hand for perpetrating something far more sinister.

Color me disappointed.
