Just to be clear, under the direction of Cheney, Libby consciously leaked the name of a CIA spy, then lying and committing perjury to the FBI and a Grand Jury to obstruct Justice of the original felony. All of these are serious felonies. You and i would be in prison for a long time on any of these charges. The only pressure the prosecutor had on Libby was the fact that he was going to be n prison... maybe he would have started giving more information about Cheney, to lessen his sentence. Doesn't have to now.

Bush has accomplished one thing that most people would have flatly denied was possible just a decade ago: He makes Nixon look good by comparison.

That said, I was under the impression that the actual leak was done by Rove, not Libby - Libby's role was, as I heard the story told, to throw enough sand in the machinery to allow Rove to escape.
