Former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison for lying to a grand jury. Katie Couric says that even people with friends in high places are not above the law. (CBSNews.com)
...And after his appeal fails and Bush gives him a guaranteed pardon, the american people will be reminded that ::in smug Kouric voice:: "Actually, people in high places ARE above the law !!"
They're not above the law? Get real Katie, they are the law. This is one of the few examples of a member of the government getting punished, and weakly at that. But you can bet that if you've got a friend in power, let alone are in power, youre chances of slipping through the fingers of justice are far greater. Libby isn't gonna go to jail anyway, and if he does you can bet he won't be sitting on a steel toilet and stamping license plates. More like sitting in a golf cart and stamping divots!
In other news, Diane Feinstein, who chaired Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee or MILCON, stepped down several months ago because it was learned that her husband was profiting to the tune of millions of dollars from contracts he obtained due to Mrs Feinstein's position.
She's right about that but failed to mention that you can get away with lying to a Grand Jury if your last name is Clinton. But then why would she throw her best friends under the bus. Katie is transparent.
Did they find the leaker in the 'leak' case? Yes. Not scooter. Try the NYT.
