Ekim...did you even know that the leak during the investigation was revealed to be Richard Armitage? Scooter Libby was found guilty of a procedural crime and not leaking. That means he "perjured" himself because he said that he could not remember a certain meeting. The prosecutor knew that Armitage was the guy because Armitage came forward and said so.
"On the July 3 edition of NBC's Today, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol claimed: "Scooter Libby does not deserve to go to jail. I would remind Joe Wilson that Scooter Libby did not leak Valerie Plame's name. Richard Armitage told Robert Novak, we now know, about Valerie Plame's name, so this was an investigation that should never have happened. There was no underlying crime." Kristol was referring to former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, Plame's husband, who reportedly issued a statement saying that "the president's actions send the message that leaking classified information for political purposes is acceptable" and that "Mr. Libby not only endangered Valerie and our family, but also our country's national security."

In case you don't remember it was revealed that Wilson was a big time liar when it came to doing his job.

He then came back from Africa with the report there was no indication of a sale of yellow cake,when his wife saw on the news the Bush administration was still reporting a sale,was when he had his report of the misinformation being reported,then was when she was outed.
Patric Fitzgerald reported there were four leaks
Richard Armitege
Scooter Libby
Karl Rove (who admitted in his book he met with Novac and when Novac asked if Wilsons wife was CIA he said he had heard that)
Aril Fleisher
Scooter lied TOFTT got a fine and a little jail time ,which was pardoned By GWB who had said he would fire anyone who outed a CIA agent.LOL the whole ting was swept under the rug.
any attempt for the Wilsons filing suit people has been stop by the courts,even the Obama Administration has stop it...
