Well, he was impeached (equivalent to indicted AFAIK) and acquitted in a show trial. If anything, pursuing indictment and letting the jury (of peers or of legislators, as appropriate) try the case shows consistency in my opinion. Let the jury find as it will in the case. It's not like Libby can't/won't appeal, which effectively gives him multiple chances for a favorable outcome. Seems fair to me. If there is really an arguable case for innocence, one of the levels of appeal will say so.
