It seems ridiculous to have to state this but the conviction of Scooter Libby only means one thing. In the eyes of the jury it means he lied about what he told prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. It does not mean: 1. That one iota of intelligence was in any way manipulated in the run up to Iraq. 2. That Joe Wilson has been vindicated in any way. 3. That Valerie Plame was "covert". 4. That the Bush White House had anything to worry about from Wilson/Plame. Don't be fooled by all the spinmeisters attempting to turn this into the Watergate of the Bush era. It's not. And everyone knows it... Except Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame...
