A harder look at Fitzgeralds attempt to get Lewis Libby

Another political ploy uncovered. I hadn't realized this was a secret, but from reading the newspapers and watching the news it appears that the media at least appears to be under the impression the Lewis "Scooter" Libby is some kind of criminal mastermind. Lets take a look-see. The Identities Protection Act of 1982 and the Espionage Act of 1917 are the two statutes being used as excused for these indictments. To have violated the 1982 law Mr. Libby must have known that Valerie Plame was a covert agent and Intentionally disclosed that information....and she has to have served abroad within 5(five) years of said disclosure. If anyone is to be indicted it would be Joe Wilson who has been telling all and sundry in D.C. about his wifes' job for the last few years. but that is old news.
IN THE FIRST PLACE SHE HAS BEEN STATESIDE SINCE 1997, considerably longer than the five year limit.
Then there is the 1917 statute. It required the Mr Libby has to (a). Acquire classified information in his official capacity(as an adivsor to the V.P.?) and (b.intentionally communitcated that information to a person or persons who was not entitled to receive it and (c). he also must have reason to believe the info could be used to the injury of the United States of the advantage of a foreign nation to the detriment of this country. Even if you stretch your imagination enough to believe that he gave information about Ms.Plame to a reporter that hadn't already heard from Joe Wilson, how do you make a case that talking about a U.S based C.I.A. beaurocrat (she has been sitting at a desk now for over 7 years, verified) is harmful to U.S. security via foreign affairs. The only injury to the U.S. or help to a foreign country is the unpatriotic hoopla the Democrats and their enablers in the media and their pimps like Joe Wilson and Prosecuter Fitgerald are raising to take attention off the important affairs of the country while they have another self-imploding Bush-hating tantrum.
While he may not be perfect, at least George W. Bush is a good and honest man. Certainly can't say that about Harry Reid, Dick(Deanna) Durbin, or Teddy(Chappaquiddick) Kennedy.
