Closing arguments on Scooter Libby today.None of his Republican defenders seem to care that President Bush said that whoever leaked the identity would be punished - nor that the law was pushed through by the other President Bush.Granted, the trial is not about the leak but about obstruction of justice, i.e. lying to a grand jury.Must say, i have mixed feelings baout grand juries. I had heard somehwere that one cannot plead the 5th amendment when called before a grand jury. Seems kind of fascist if that's true.And what about Kosovo? Did anyone read "A New Generation Draws the Line"? I thought it made an interesting case against the NATO bombing.
