>>If the law has been broken then let the accused face trial. As I said, if Libby is convicted then he should rightly be punished. If Bush or Cheney broke the law then they too should be prosecuted. In this case the prosecutor and his team have looked into this case for 2 years and were unable to come up with a single indictment regarding the release of classified information. Guess what, there's no crime there.

The memo where it's believed the White House learned Plame's name was not declassified until, I believe, this month. As for why it took so long, I have no idea. We can speculate all we want but we do not prosecute based on speculation.
