Yello Snow is correct in comparison. CT, you may not like it much, but the investigation is warranted. Libby is convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. He has blocked those who want to know the truth. That truth may lie inside the White House. Don’t you want the truth to come out, or are you going to stay in the cave and look at the shadows?

Which was wrong? It's largely a result of your political viewpoint. I think the funniest thing about this is that the most controversial of Clinton's pardons - Marc Rich - was represented by attorney Scooter Libby!!!! politicians are all a bunch of liars and cheats.
