Sentencing of Scooter Libby
By Fred Thompson
"The sentencing of Scooter Libby was the last in a series of acts that has resulted in a shocking injustice – one created by and enabled by federal officials. As I’ve been saying for many months, this is a “he said-she said” case about political infighting that would have never been brought in any other prosecutor’s office in America.
The CIA started the ball rolling by sending the Democratic partisan husband of one of its employees to Niger on a sensitive mission. Knowing an opportunity when he saw one, he returned and blasted the Bush Administration (the fact that he blatantly falsified a few important things along the way is another story). It should not have been a shock to CIA officials when people then asked, “Who is this guy and why was he sent to Niger?” The only mystery in Washington is why the CIA employee-wife’s name, Valerie Plame, took as long as it did to leak.

Outing a CIA agent in a time of war. Sounds like treason to me...

This is is so bogus. You should know better.
I am not going to waste much time responding to this, because all of this is information is available if one really wants to know the facts.
She was not undercover anymore. Hadn't been for over 5 years.
Fitsgerald knew this, which is precisely why Libby never went to trial, nor charged for your so-called "outing" of a CIA agent.
Richard Armitage admitted he was the one that mentioned Plame, not Libby.
This information is now widely known and easy to attain.
'Nuff said.
