Former White House Aide found guilty for lying

Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the former chief of staff to Veep Dick Cheney, was found guilty of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of Valerie Plame's identity to reporters. Her husband is a prominent Iraq war critic.

Prosecutors said he discussed Plame's name with reporters and, fearing prosecution, made up a story to cover his tracks.  Libby's defence team said he learned about Plame from Cheney, forgot about it, then learned it again a month later from Tim Russert, on NBC. 

Scooter faces up to 30 years in prison, though under federal sentencing guidelines he is likely to spend a lot less time locked up. 

The bigger picture is that this could only be the beginning of charges brought against George Bush, Dick Cheney and their White House regime.

Cheney is pissed and released a statement about it...

"I am very disappointed with the verdict. I am saddened for Scooter and his family," Cheney said, "As I have said before, Scooter has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction through many years of public service," he added in a statement.

Who's next?
