This is stunning and I'm tired of it. You can't say "this is bad" when the other side does it, and then do it yourself. Like our deficit. The Republicans were up on arms when Obama raised the deficit, but it's perfectly okay when Republicans do it. This is wrong. Wrong is wrong no matter who is in office.
Don't understate what Scooter Libby did. He and Cheney didn't like that Valerie Plaime's husband was criticizing the intelligence they were using to justify the war in Iraq so he leaked her identity in an effort to discredit him. This was a huge deal because at the time she was an active, covert CIA agent.

Libby and Cheney should both be in prison.
