Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Well, if Libby simply got confused, then he'll walk. If he lied and obstructed the investigation, for whatever reason, he'll pay that penalty. We'll see. I, too, want to know more about why Powell and Armitage were silent for so long, if, indeed, that's what happened. So, no, I'm not ready to 'move on'. I'd like to know the whole, true story. Not theories or guesses by partisans on either side. Maybe that's unreasonable.

K2man, you have to admit if Rove had been arrested for leaking some top secret agents name the media and the usual suspects on here would have been going nuts.

And there is still a chance the charges might be dropped by the prosecutor with the release of the new info this week.... Or that the Judge will decide to drop the charges based on information provided by BOTH sides of the issue
