Firedoglake was literally on fire today, and they crashed from the traffic. They're back up, and they have the best posts about the mood in the courtroom, the after-interviews, etc.

To the schmucks on the right who think people like me take delight in this: I don't. I wish this had never happened. I also wish that the white house wouldn't have thought it necessary to out an undercover agent, either, jeopardizing not only her life, but the lives of everyone who worked for the front company she worked for (she was working on Iran, the next country we're going to war with). I wish we hadn't thought it necessary to go to war in a country that didn't have any justification that we were told it did. I wish we had stuck with fighting the people responsible for 9/11 (remember Osama? what the hell is his last name...)

I do however, take delight that justice is blind and was served (partly) today. Even the jury thought Libby was the fall guy for Cheney. But if he wants to insist it was only him, then he should take the punishment for it. Unfortunately, he will be pardoned, by an emperor who doesn't wish to accept, nor have any of his people accept, responsibility for. even. one. thing.
