LIBBY TAKES THE FALL
The former chief of staff of V.P. Dick, Irve Lewis “Scooter” Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice, perjury, lying to the FBI and possessing one of the stupidest names in history for a former White House official. The verdict came after 10 days of deliberation after the jury finally stopped laughing at his name.
As expected and predicted by many, Libby took the fall for Karl Rove, who is believed to be actually responsible for outing the identity of Valerie Plame, a CIA operative. Prez Bush cannot be held responsible for the leak, other than the one he made in his pants when he heard the verdict.
Special Prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald made it clear that he will not be pursuing this investigation of this leak case any further, as it obviously will lead directly to the VP, and he cannot risk losing his testicles for the sake of the truth.
So there you have it - justice served! The President and Vice President continue to lie blatantly to the world at every available opportunity and old man ‘Scooter” is going to jail for obstruction of justice, perjury and lying. Had Fitzgerald prosecuted others in DC for the same crime, it is believed that all the members of the House and the Congress would be behind bars… and I am not talking about the ones they frequent for their regular evenings of debauchery.

LOL!!!! This was sooo funny it sparkled throughout (i will not mention how it tinkled in order not to jar upon reader sensibilities).
I needed that…a damn good laugh at another witty Olve Ream dissection.
Patrick Fitzgerald did not have the authority to prosecute except for the leak, as he was appointed special prosecutor for this case. He does not have other authority in DC.
Patrick Fitzgerald is a very, very tough prosecutor. He cannot be bought. He angers many with his delight to enforce the law vigorously without fear or favor. While a Republican appointee, he prosecuted the Republican governor of the state where he is the federal prosecutor for the Northern District of Illinois.
Procedurally, Fitzgerald’s jurisdiction was “special prosecutor” for this case only As a special prosecutor, he did not have the ability to bring other cases other than the leak case. He was brought into this case because he did not have special ties to Washington. He is very, very good, maybe the best in the U.S., and serves justice because he deeply believes in it.
Many Republicans dislike him because he can’t be talked into doing political favors. I have the highest regard for his work, and I would not take his results lightly.
Dear Olive Ream,
Given your interest in issues related to Pakistan, we thought you might like to check out our work on US Assistance to Pakistan. We’ve just published an article in the Washington Quarterly called When $10 Billion Is Not Enough: Rethinking US Strategy Toward Pakistan, and more Pakistan coverage on our blog (www.pcrproject.com) on hearts and minds, youth in Pakistan, and development assistance. The Post-Conflict Reconstruction (PCR) Project is a part of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think-tank located in Washington, DC. Additionally, we have just released a new report called Breaking Point: Measuring Progress in Afghanistan.
Best,
The PCR Project Team
