Last Minute Holiday Gift

On "FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace", Lynne Cheney, provided her insightful opinion on the upcoming criminal trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the former Chief of Staff to Mr. Cheney: "I think that we're seeing an instance of a man who spent a great deal of his life as a dedicated public servant — he's done an awful lot of good — in a situation that does not reflect well on our judicial system."

"He's done an awful lot of good"? Let's not forget that Libby was indicted by a grand jury in October 2005 on criminal felony charges of obstruction of justice, lying to the FBI and committing perjury before a grand jury. Those charges apply to the Bush administration's exposure of Valerie Plame Wilson, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, as an active CIA official. As you can imagine, revealing the identity of a CIA agent is highly illegal but apparently that fact is unimportant to Ms. Cheney and her conscience. Happy Holidays!
