In the Delaware State News today, Mr. Wright states, "What Mr. Libby was found guilty of was not having total recollection of dates and facts to what happened a couple of years earlier."
Mr. Wright is wrong.
Mr. Libby was found guilty of Perjury and Obstruction of Justice. The prosecution was run by a Republican appointed prosecutor and he was tried by a Republican appointed judge. He was convicted by a jury of his peers.
If Mr. Wright is upset about another incident, I would remind him that each case stands or falls on its own merit and that two wrongs do not may a right.

OK, this is real simple. Libby was found guilty of Perjury and Obstruction of Justice because, as I said in my letter, he did not have total recall of dates and facts to what happened a couple of years ago. It is a mischaracterization and intentionally misleading to say that I was wrong when I listed the cause instead of the actual charges by name. Looking at some of the others you have problems with, Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Skocik for example, I feel that I am in good company. I only have one question. Why are there only two posts on your blog (at least that all I have found so far) about my letters to the editor? I mean, come on, I have had 94 letters published so far. One of us is not trying very hard.
Libby was found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice because it was determined in a court of law that he lied under oath.
I can only assume that a disregard for the truth was the cause of Mr. Libby's conviction.
It is becoming more apparent everyday that dishonesty was standard operating procedure for members of the Bush Administration in their responses to the Valerie Plame outing.
Scott McClellan, Bush's former Press Secretary, testified before Congress regarding this just the other day.
