Why Scooter is getting off lightly

The next time some moran tells you that a poor little 50 some year old high government official still called Scooter is being cruelly used by the court, let them read Carol D. Leonnig's piece in the WaPo today. In fact beat them over the head with it. And hammer them often with the initial point.
1. Valerie Plame wasn't a covert operative.

Wrong. She was...

...a CIA "unclassified summary" of Plame's career, released in court filings before Libby's June 5 sentencing, puts this one to rest: The CIA considered her covert at the time her identity was leaked to the media. The CIA report said that Plame had worked overseas in the previous five years and that the agency had been taking "affirmative measures" to conceal her CIA employment....

...The CIA isn't famous for its clarity, but it's being pretty blunt on this issue: Langley says she was covert. Which other spook bureaucracy do you need to ask?
And if they still think that poor little Scooter doesn't look good in an orange jumpsuit then maybe you should just take a deep breath and teach them again, for the umpteenth time how to tie their shoelaces.
