Bush commutes Libby sentence

[kandrathe]

Why is "covert" in quotations? She was a NOC at the time of her outing.

She was still classified as "covert" and for the ignorant masses she may have been, but she was known within the world intelligence community as an operative since her first outing back in the 1980's iirc by the Soviets.

Justice should be done regardless of whether it serves someone's political ends or not. I get the distinct feeling that this those who should really be punished haven't been, and that there are still things we don't know. But it appears that, for the moment, either I'm wrong, or tracks have been well enough covered. Certainly the part that smells worst about it to me, that the Bush administration consistently claims and tries to be above, beyond or outside any law, American or international, has yet to be resolved in any satisfactory way. This is just the latest outrage.

I just feel that taken to the next level we will have show trials and need to have Amnesty International on letter writing campaigns for political prisoners within the US.
