If I was about to face up to 30 years for a leak I was involved with.....

The verdict was read on the 10th day of deliberations. Libby faces up to 30 years in prison, though under federal sentencing guidelines likely will receive far less.

You better believe I'd start squawking in order to get my sentence reduced. I think think there is way more to this than Scooter Libby - way way way more. Is Libby willing to sacrifice the last years of his life for a cover-up? This will be interesting

1. unless you know Chimpy McCokespoon was going to pardon you...

Bingo. n/t

2. I don't think that's right, because what he REALLY did

is much worse than the crimes for which he has been convicted.

He's getting off easy.

4. he's a traitor and ought to be shot....but instead they're talking 2 or 3 years.

3. Me too

....and Libby doesn't strike me as a G. Gordon Liddy kinda guy.

5. And in what world would Bush not pardon him?

It's a minor inconvenience, that's all.

This whole things has been diegusting, and the fact that Libby was found guilty of 4 counts of perjury is extremely little (rather, zero) consolation for what he actually did.

It's sickening that this became a trial about lying to a jury, instead of outing a CIA agent.
