#1 And the trial for Mr. Armitage is, when? And for Sandy Berger ... oh wait, they already had his and gave him some community service hours to take care of ... :-(

Something's out of whack.

#2 Something's out of whack.

It has been out of whack for a LONG time. Different sets of rules for the Dems vs the Repubs. Personally, I'd like to establish and apply my own set of rules to both sides. But I would pay particularly close attention to the Dems. Scumbags.

#3 Bad jury selection. Appeal should straighten this out.

#4 Based on a few snippets I heard of an interview with one of the jurors (an "author and journalist", no less), it sounds like the jury itself was pretty predisposed to the "guilt" prior to deliberation. Apparently they were asking "Where's Rove?" "Where's Cheney?"

I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds kind of "appeal-ish".

#5 "And the trial for Mr. Armitage is, when?"

EM, Armitage didnt commit a crime in this saga. Ironic? Yes. Double standard? No.

#6 I love the left getting their panites in a wad saying the Bush "Should not Pardon Libby because of the pre-war intelligence manipulation." Umm the trial was not about that unless I missed something. Yep appeal and then aquit.

#9 The Prosecuter should be disbarred and tried and forced to pay back the money spent by all regarding this trial. He's allowed this monkey-trial to go on despite the fact that he's known (a) no crime was actually committed as she wasn't an undercover agent (b) Armitage leaked.

That is inexcusable.

#10 EM, Armitage didnt commit a crime in this saga.

Yeah -- It was a comment on the irony that you picked up on.

The whole thing that is really weird for me is that the Fitzgerald probe was designed to figure out what Mr. Armitage later on admitted to -- who was the one that first told the information to reporters before it was "out and known" common information. So, during the probe, Libby gives reason for Fitzgerald to question his testimony and so he is put on trial for it ... and, pending appeal, convicted of false testimony and obstructing the investigation. And yet, no trial is pending for the actual end-product that was originally sought by the investigation.

It seems that this should be a poor end to the saga ... unless I'm missing or overly confused by something.

#11 Dirty Harry Reid is warning Bush not to pardon Libby. NOW they're AGAINST pardons?

#12 Libby probably owns some land in Vegas that Harry has his eye on...

#14 American politics and the MSM coverage of same is about as phalked up as Britany's head.

#15 Scooter ought to get new attorneys & have them file "incompetent defense" as the main basis for an appeal, That's the only possible explanation for their having allowed a journalist who's worked for the WaPo to get on the jury.
