Levin on Libby

This press release by Senator Carl Levin helps put into perspective exactly why politicians drive me borderline nuts.

“The Vice President went to extreme lengths to advance the Administration’s Iraq War policy and decisions, but whether or not Mr. Libby, as the Vice President’s right-hand man, committed a crime in support of the Vice President’s efforts will have to await the judgment of a court.”

Here Levin postulates that a court must decide whether Libby committed a crime or not, but if he did commit a crime he probably did it at the behest of Cheney. Oddly, Cheney was not indicted during Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald's investigation, nor was Libby indicted over what the investigation centered on.

The sad thing is that Carl Levin knows this.
