Scooter Libby

Check out this link from Bloomberg:

`Scooter' Libby Jury to Announce a Verdict in CIA Leak Trial

Frm CBS:

Libby Guilty In CIA Leak Case

Was this really the "CIA Leak Trial"?  Libby wasn't on trial for leaking anything.  It was for lying about something that may not have been a crime in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, if he obstructed justice, and lied in front of a federal grand jury he should get into trouble and maybe go to prison.

I just have a problem with writers of headlines making this out to be something that it isn't.

Remember ... Bill Clinton obstructed justice and lied to a Federal Grand Jury about something that wasn't a crime either. ( All I'm pointing out is that this is a similar set of circumstances )
