Noise

"Guilty...Guilty...Guilty..."read the headlines. Convicted by a jury not of his peers, Scooter Libby faces thirty long years in prison for what? Does anybody know why? If you listen to the main stream media then you'll hear that he "outed" a covert CIA agent. Yet, this jury was NOT allowed to know that Valerie Plame, the CIA agent in question, was not undercover or covert. So, if she was not "undercover" or "covert" was she "outed"? If she was not "outed", then where's the crime? Perhaps the crime lies within convicting an innocent man of a crime he did not convict. It is just a thought, but it seems like the "noise" surrounding Mr. Libby did him in with the jurors. The jurors could not get past the fact that Libby was associated with Cheney who is associated with Bush who is an "evildoer Republican who wants to occupy all foreign lands." The jurors most likely could not hear anything beyond that and as a result, Libby is "Guilty, Guilty, Guilty" by association.
