The charges against Mr. Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former top aide and alter ego, have unfolded over the last two years as an overwrought Washington opera, rich with White House intrigue, insider journalism and the polarized politics and lies justifying the Iraq war. Let’s add it up.
Prosecutors played a tape of Mr. Libby testifying to a grand jury that Mr. Cheney had asked Bush to declassify an intelligence report selectively so he, Mr. Libby, could leak it to sympathetic reporters
Nine conversations about Wilson’s wife with eight different people. Mr. Libby claimed to remember none of them. He had a motive to lie, and the motive to lie matched up exactly with the lie. That’s where your common sense kicks in. What's the big deal. They have been lying since they took office.
