You want this guy to be guilty because it makes the administration look bad. You're letting your political leanings get in the way.<BR/><BR/>At least I'm willing to recognize that underlying crime or not, a jury found Libby guilty and he's still got a record for his crime of perjury. You continue to make excuses for Clinton. Sad that that defines liberalism today.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-68104695561345161972007-07-05T12:00:00.000-07:002007-07-05T12:00:00.000-07:00I do think there's a difference between lying abou...I do think there's a difference between lying about whether you got some from an intern and lying about outing a CIA operative, yes.Eric W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266823523660676253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-88675376893435498272007-07-05T09:43:00.000-07:002007-07-05T09:43:00.000-07:00Geez, Eric, if you don't think Clinton did anythin...Geez, Eric, if you don't think Clinton did anything wrong, just say so. If you don't think there are any similarities between Clinton's lying (executive branch lie to cover his own butt in the commission of a crime) and Libby's lying (executive branch lie to cover his own butt *not* in the commission of a crime), then just say so.<BR/><BR/>At least be honest with your leanings.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-6907495981603337522007-07-04T23:28:00.000-07:002007-07-04T23:28:00.000-07:00Well, you criticized the use of the word liar and ...Well, you criticized the use of the word liar and the article's treatment of Clinton.

You don't cast out looking for others who might have violated the law. In this case Fitzgerald manufactured a crime.
