Missing the Point.

As you would expect, after the libby verdict was announced, the right wing started up.

I think it is wrong to prosecute someone when the underlying crime that supposedly occurred to set the entire investigation in motion has never been proved to have occurred. (I felt the same way about the Martha Stewart matter.) I think the people who will be cheering this verdict might want to step back and think about how this kind of precedent will be used against one of their own in the future.

And it will. Bet on it.

1. This isn't a precedent. People have been convicted of obsrcution of justice before.
2. Does that mean he was against the Clinton Impeachment? Because it was the very same crime.
