There is nothing bush can do that will restorehis credibility with the American People.

Have you read any polls in the last 3 years.

It is the Ameroican People that are disgusted woth the Bush Administration

But journalists aren't required to utter an oath of allegiance to the nation.  

So, if you were a jounalist would you consider your first job to be to protect the nation and the troops???

The jury decided that his actions of repeatedly and consciously lying to investigators and under oath to a Grand Jury violated the law, which is the "underlying crime" for which he was sentenced to prison.  It was not Scooter Libby's privilege, nor is it yours, to decide which aspects of his testimony should be truthful and which should not, based on HIS interpretation of the "underlying" reasons for which he was being questioned.

You were not a member of that jury and you have demonstrated only a superficial knowledge of the issues under consideration, so your opinion of the verdict is worth exactly what mine is: nothing.

Justice was served according to the letter of the law.

Indeed, there were 3.

One of the 3 lied about what he was doing. It is clear that THAT one lied to protect his boss, the Vice President of the United States.

It is also clear that THAT person, the Vice Preswident of the United States, orchestrated the release of the classified information.

Please stick to the facts.

We may not like the fact the President Clinton lied, but it was bnot per se a crime.  Libby's lie was material.

Once more

the overwhelming weight of the evidence at the trial -- including reporters' notes of their interviews with Libby -- showed that Libby had indeed leaked classified information about Plame's identity

Libby leaked classified information to several reporters. Libby then lied about leaking classified information in an investigation about who was/were the person or persons doing the leaking.

Simple enough even for you.

And the three points you have never responded to:

1. One person leaking classified information, such as the identity of a covert agent, does not absolve other people of legal liability for leaking the same information.  The classification does not evaporate when one person leaks.  Particularly, but not exclusively, when the multiple leaks occur around the same time.  So even if Armitage was the "primary leaker" (an assumption for which there is no public evidence, since Fitzgerald hasn't released it) that doesn't mean there couldn't be other people who committed the same crime.  

2. The possibility that there was a group of people who conspired to break the cover of a key CIA undercover operation, and that once busted Armitage agreed to be the fall guy.  Particularly knowing that Fitzgerald has a history of going easy(ier) on people who "confess".

3. The possibility that there was a higher entity (that is Cheney in case you can't read an organization chart) who directed the outing of the CIA operation, and who was protected by Libby's obstruction and perjury from being investigated.

Indeed, the leak to Novak by Armitage came after Libby had engaged in his systematic attempt to get the information about Plame out.

It is interesting that Libby did not go to Novak and obvious at the same time.
