NY Times:
I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney and one of the principal architects of President Bush’s foreign policy, was sentenced Tuesday to 30 months in prison for lying during a C.I.A. leak investigation that became part of a fierce debate over the war in Iraq.....
.....Judge Walton issued his sentence after intense arguments by both sides over the significance of Mr. Libby’s crimes, and after sifting through scores of letters asking for leniency that were sent to the court by notable figures, including former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Paul D. Wolfowitz, who recently resigned as president of the World Bank and who is a former professor and government supervisor of Mr. Libby. Neither Mr. Bush nor Mr. Cheney were among the 150 people who wrote letters of support....
Do you think Libby will actually serve time? One way or another, I think President Bush will issue him a pardon. However, if someone else had committed the same crime, he/she would be thrown in jail for a much longer time than 30 months.
Did you get a load of who wrote letters in support of Libby.....Kissinger? Rumsfeld? Wolfowitz? What a bunch of #%*@!
I believe that there will be a special place in hell for these people who promoted an unnecessary war, caused the deaths of thousands of people, changed the lives of our military families, made money on the tragedy of war, lied to advance their political agenda, and released the name of an undercover CIA person.
