Who is surprised by the fact that Libby is not going to serve time in prison? You shouldn't be. Everyone who hates Bush and thinks his administration is the most corrupt in history, and now acting surprised, actually thought Bush would let Libby serve time in jail? The rest of us saw this for what it was worth. Justice would not have been served by Libby going to prison. Fitzgerald wasted all this time and all of those resources for nothing.
What a waste. There is enough "real" stuff to address in Washington - there was no need for this circus, and no need to heighten the hopes and dreams of Bush haters over something with no substance.
