Politicophile, I don't necessarily agree with your assessment of this verdict. While I absolutely agree that there could be secrets of other criminal acts being kept by members of the administration, I don't think that it means that there are those secrets. Libby was convicted of covering up how the truth about Valerie Plame came to light, not actually revealing her CIA employment in the first place. Rove avoided prosecution by coming clean, and it's open knowledge that he was another source of this information for reporters. He wasn't charged because he never lied to the grand jury (or lied enough to annoy the prosecutor). I think its entirely possible that POTUS and VPOTUS decided to leak this information, but no one has ever been accused of that crime.
