Bush haters are now crowing about the conviction of Lewis Libby. They are saying that it proves the corruption of his administration. Any reasonably intelligent adult knows better. It just means that the liberals won this battle — at least for now. A slick prosecutor and a sympathetic judge can elicit whatever verdict they want from the average jury. If you believe that a jury trial always produces the right verdict, then you are, quite simply, a fool.

Of course the Bush haters know this. But they don’t care. They don’t want to pass up the chance to get in a few good licks. And it would probably be the same if the scenario were inverted.

Bob Novak has a good overview of the case at Townhall.com. His July 14, 2003 column, in which he mentioned that Joe Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA, triggered this whole affair.
