Here's a press release just sent out by Harry Reid, confirming
once and for all that the Libby case was all about politics. It had
nothing to do with the pursuit of justice.

REID STATEMENT ON THE LIBBY VERDICT
Washington, DC-Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid today released the following statement on news that a jury has
found Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former Chief of Staff to Vice
President Dick Cheney, guilty of perjury and obstruction of
justice.
"I welcome the jury's verdict. It's about time someone in the
Bush Administration has been held accountable for the campaign to
manipulate intelligence and discredit war critics. Lewis Libby has
been convicted of perjury, but his trial revealed deeper truths
about Vice President Cheney's role in this sordid affair. Now
President Bush must pledge not to pardon Libby for his criminal
conduct."
Of course, if that's the way Reid wants to play it, let's get on
with the show. What's that about all the real estate newly enriched
Harry bought for a dime back in Nevada?
