Convicted Tuesday of four counts of obstruction of justice, perjury and lying to the FBI, former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, in the end, was responsible for his own undoing. Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was accused of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity to reporters after her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, wrote an op-ed piece critical of the war in Iraq...

The rule of law is a prerequisite for a civilized society and more central to democracy than leaks are. Jay de los Reyes Alameda, California...
...left hates Bush so much that it salivates at any hint of misdeed, whether warranted or not. There are plenty of reasons to criticize the Bush Administration, but special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is wasting hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on a case he made up because I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby cannot remember exactly how conversations went three years ago. I would be in real trouble if I were in Libby's spot, since I can't remember what I said last week.
