Case closed.

Another republican, another lying, corporate/fascist, crook.  But then, if 75% of Americans can be made to believe that there is an invisible God in the sky who will save them and save America, they can be made to believe anything.

Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller is set to take the stand today in the Libby trial.

It seems worthwhile to revisit the Judy Miller situation. She may have served as a propaganda mouthpiece for the neocon element in the Bush administration that planned the invasion of Iraq.

Before her role was fully recognized, and she was “retired” from the NYT, the Society of Professional Journalists gave Miller an award for resisting special prosecutor Fitzgerald’s first attempts to get her testimony.

The article below from that time frame looks at this situation from several angles:

Society of Professional Journalists’ Award to Judith Miller Helps Cover-Up?

This will get draged out for the next period of months and by the time it all ends, it will be time for elections and Bush will pardon this scum in true sleaz fashion reminiscent of Watergate.

It begins… Will Patrick Fitzgerald fulfill his Robespierre destiny? Is Libby the one to lead the Carmelite march? He’s not quite caught the martyr aura yet. It could go badly — could be a real mess...as undignified as Saddam’s demise — to be sure he’ll flip, and then the parade begins. TruthDig will need a full-time correspondant in DC feeding updates 24/7...better get on it.

Ari sure has gotten fat.

The Bushmen can’t even keep their lies in a uniform time line. Amateurs. I can’t wait for Dick to take the stand, he’ll show these losers what a real lier can do. He’s an old pro.
You corporate execs out nows the time to take notes for your future indictments and trials.

Libby and his friends already have lots of bad news. Those who were involved in criminal and illegal administration never have had goods news for their country but their own benefits.

They are good match to devils.

Nothing will happen because there was no crime for Pete’s sake.  There are no criminal indictments because Plame was not covert and had not been for the requisite period of time.  Why would Libby lie if there was no crime?  On the other hand, Sandy “pants” Berger admittedly STEALS top secret documents and destroys them probably compromising the 911 commission study. For that he gets a slap on the wrist. Explain that one!  It’s sometimes difficult to figure out just which of our two wonderful political parties is the dumber.  No. I take that back, it’s the democrats by two lengths.

This Libby thing is going to be over and nothing is going to happen, the reason is probably the Bush administration declasisified the information and the person responsible this could have been “shotgun” Chaney, nothing happens in Washington that is called a “leak” because sounds this “leak” was intentional.
