>>>Ummm, Libby was convicted of perjury. not under the FISA law statute for outing<<<


You're acting so frickin stupid the sensible thing to do would be to ignore you. Who cares what he was convicted of? The point I'm trying to get across to you is that if the Bush WH could have proved what you insist on - that Plame was not covert at the time of the outing - there wouldn't have been a Grand Jury investigation, there wouldn't have been a Libby trial and there wouldn't have been 3 years of embarrassing coverage. Understand?

So I ask you again: Why didn't they prove it? Why didn't Bush trot out best buddy George Tenet to confirm there was no outing and therefore there was no need for an investigation? Would have solved all of Bush's and Cheney's problems on the spot and embarrassed a lot of people they like to embarrass. It's a simple question so how about a simple answer without your usual squirming and detours to nowhere?

PS. FISA has nothing to do with this. The outing was a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982.
