Its obscene.
I don't use the word obscene often, being a large fan of pornography myself...
This two party crap has destroyed our political system.
This power of the military/industrial complex has usurped the rights of rule the citizenship was originally granted by our constitutional authority.
because nobody has really answered seven's original question, "what did libby do?", which i believe is an important one to keep in mind.
There was once upon a time a US Ambassador who while Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld and the entire US puppet media was advertising and selling the war to invade Iraq, who stood up and actually investigated some of the crap they were all spouting as known truth.
For example, the aluminum tubes bullshit that the White house put forward that evidence Iraq was working on Nukes, he actually went to the Los Alamos Labs nuclear experts and asked them about it. they told him that it was obviously the wrong kind of tubing for nuclear research and development. they were not listened to at the white house despite being the worlds formost experts at nuclear technology, they did not give the popular answer.
next he researched the supposed Link between Iraq and Bin Laden/al Quaida. the entire US case to link these things was one intercepted message that Italian intelligence had BOUGHT from a freelance investigator. It purported that a couple of al quaida operatives had a meeting with a Saddam hussein's representatives, in if I recall some third neutral country.
Problem with this link is that it was pretty obviously fake intelligence. The French investigated it further and found it was completely faked by the Italian Investigator and his girlfriend who worked for Italian intelligence for MONEY. The French intelligence service then reported this to the American CIA and British Intelligence.
the Italian Intelligence service was happy to just feel they were part of the game and happily passed on the "information" to the US and British governments, which instead of researching the faked intelligence themselves like the French had, they just called each other and asked if they had heard the same thing. since they both get the same Italian information, they agreed that, "o yes, we heard that too" and it was considered confirmed information....
when this US Ambassador who had so questioned the march to war heard about this link between Iraq and Al Quaida he questioned this flimsy, single testimony evidence, which by this time the French had dismissed as totally fabricated, and even the ITALIANS by now had investigated further and found to be completely made up by their paid investigator, and in fact TRIED TO ARREST HIM, but he had dissapeared already.
By the way, for the record. Bin Laden had personally ordered Saddam Hussein to be assassinated by Al Quaida as a top priority because Hussein killed all Al Quaida found to be operating/visiting/passing through Iraq. Killed on suspicion, without need of evidence. You see Iraq was not a Muslim Theocracy, the Religion was very dangerous to Hussein, who paid lip service to Allah, however was a near total ATHIEST who spent his life trying to kill Muslim Theocracies. (war with Iran, war with al quaida, kill on sight orders of militant islamist groups who demanded his overthrow or death)
All the idiots that link al Quaida/911 to Iraq better get their heads outta their ass and think about two groups that killed one another on sight and actively hunted one another to kill each other, WERE NO WAY HAPPILY WORKING TOGETHER!!!
anyway this US Ambassador found the Iraq/Al Quaida connection to be complete bullshit when investigated.
next the crap came out about Iraq trying to buy nuclear enrichment materials from several african nations, who do not have any nuclear technology themselves, by the way...
This same US Ambassador actually traveled to the areas mentioned on the US news reports and talked about by the White House as providing all this Nuclear support to Iraq. when he got there he found it all to be completely bullshit.
by this time several CIA agents who had also figured out that the White House was lying through its freaking teeth to start a war were starting to join with this Ambassador to make trouble on the evening news, and tell people the truth about all these white house lies.
What happened next was that a White House REPRESENTATIVE ON DIRECT ORDERS FROM ABOVE leaked to several prominent US newspapers that this US Ambassador could not be trusted because his wife was a US CIA SPY, what this had to do with him being untrustworthy is still unknown.
problem is his wife was a real life SPY for the CIA. and do you know what she was working on?
She was in charge of the division assigned to keep nuclear weapons from Iraq and other "unfriendly" nations. She was naturally a prime target for assassination or coercion by these same countries who might have liked to interfere with the CIA attempts to stop their nuke programs. DON"T YOU ALSO THINK THAT MAYBE SHE KNEW A FEW THINGS ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES TRYING TO GET NUKES?
so why the white house thought revealing this US Ambassador's wife was an Undercover CIA spy in charge of nuclear proliferation would make him less believable about Nuclear Proliferation, who knows.
the reality is she had to leave her job fast before someone killed her now that she was publicly identified. the White House had likely expected her to have to run and hide and take her annoyingly right husband with her. Problem was she got pissed off and chose to press charges on the people who fingered her for the terrorists to kill her. You see in America it is a FEDERAL CRIME to EXPOSE an UNDERCOVER SPY. She promptly raised alot of hell about the whole situation and Congress and the Judicial branch themselves found this to be crossing a line.
During the investigations, Scooter Libby testified before Congress and in Criminal Court in outright lies. The rest that testified before Congress and in Criminal Court told the truth and revealed Libby was lying to the Court, that is a CRIME CALLED PERJURY.
The Court was so pissed off at his lying to them they arrested him and tried him for perjury. he was PROVEN GUILTY and sentenced to about three years in prison and a quarter of a million dollar fine. luckily he is worth many millions of dollars so the fine was not even very painful. The main thing was that he lied to protect Vice President Cheney, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and our dear friend, President? Shrub.
No shit the White House gave him a commutation of sentence.
No shit the White House he agreed to sacrifice himself for, to protect them from further investigation, will give him a total pardon once the common cattle citizens forget what really happened.
Look at all the Sheeple. God those evil bastards are right. Their is little stupider and less informed than the average American Sheep.
Which is probably for the best.
IF they were better informed and wiser, they would be seethingly PISSED OFF at what has been done to them.
and we cannot have that, can we.
