...It means that this one helluva chickenshit indictment, but most indictments have nothing to do with evidence and everything to do with making a name for oneself or feeding the media.
One reporter summed it up quite nicely: "so then, if no crime was involved BEFORE the grand jury was seated, and if all of these statements attributed to Mr. Libby weren't lies at all but just someone trying to remember dates from years ago, then that's just a mistake, right?"
Special Prosecutor FitzfuckthewhiteHouse's response: "Of course it could turn out that way in a court of law, but his statements didn't match statements from others regarding dates and times..."
Bottom Line: They should have charged Libby with not having a photographic memory for forgetting one or two of the hundreds of people he speaks with on a daily basis and left it at that. 3 months probation and a free copy of the latest book on "How To Improve Your Memory".
What an incredible farce. No crime was committed but Libby forgot things, so it's off to trial.

The libs want revenge for Clinton. They see this as a combination of Watergate and Vietnam rolled up in one. My liberal friends already think that Bush is ready to hit the door.

Tempest in a teapot is what it really is, Jeff. A chickenshit indictment like this should be laughable; he-said, she-said, remembering conversations from years gone by, and there's not a court in the land that convicts Libby on any of these ludicrous charges.
They barely squeaked out this half ass indictment but wait intil Libby's lawyers get to present HIS side of the story and the jury sees one witness after another hemming and hawing under cross examination.
There's simply no reason to believe that his intent was to harm anyone, and no jury sends anyone to jail because of a faulty memory.
Thanks for the comment, Jeff, appreciate it.
