"Scooter" Libby - Fucked!

The vice president's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter' Libby Jr., was charged Friday with obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements in the CIA leak investigation, a politically charged case that will throw a spotlight on President Bush's push to war. Libby resigned and left the White House.

The grand jury indictment charged Libby, 55, with one count of obstruction of justice, two of perjury and two false statement counts. If convicted on all five, he could face as much as 30 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines.
The charges stem from a two-year investigation by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald into whether Rove, Libby or any other administration officials knowingly revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame or lied about their involvement to investigators.
Libby is accused of lying about how and when he learned about Plame's identity in 2003 and told reporters about it. The information on the officer was classified.
He is also accused of lying when he told Fitzgerald's investigators that he learned about Plame's CIA status from Tim Russert of NBC. He learned it from several government sources, including Cheney, the indictment says.

Amazing how the focus has been on Libby and not so much on Rove. Could it be Libby's proximity to the Vice President that makes him so desirable???

Well, the staff at IFLIPYOUOFF.com wishes him and his family well. And if he is found guilty, he should be beaten within an inch of his life, then slowly raped with a hot soldering iron until he passes out from the pain.

If he is innocent, the prosecuting attorney should issue a written apology to him.

Simple, huh?
