I don't understand what is meant by Libby being a fall guy. What is the hidden issue that Libby is helping Bush cover up?
I don't think justice was served in this case. There was an opinion piece in the WSJ today saying the message is that people should take the 5th, or say that they don't recall when questioned. I agree that this will discourage people from opening up. Libby did not have to lie about what he was convicted for because the information was leaked from other sources and he talked to other people about it. I don't get it. If we want to investigate Bush and what lead us to war, let's do that. there was no need to convict Libby for what could be a faulty memory while trying to cooperate with an investigation.
