Of course, the biggest news item of the day is the conviction of Scotter Libby (Dick Cheney's former Chief of Staff) in the CIA leak trial.

Libby was convicted on 4 out of 5 counts, including obstruction of justice, making false statements to the FBI, and perjury before the grand jury.  In other words, today justice was served for former CIA covert operative Valerie Plame (whose name we, the American public, should not even know).

After the announcement of the verdicts, one of the jurors spoke out, and had something very interesting to say.  They convicted Scotter Libby because they believed him to be guilty, based on the evidence.

But also, they felt he had been set up by the Bush Administration to be their "fall guy."  And they said that they often wondered where some of the bigger guns were, like Karl Rove.

From MSNBC:

“I will say there was a tremendous amount of sympathy for Mr. Libby on the jury,” said the juror, Denis Collins, a former newspaper reporter.

“It was said a number of times: ‘What are we doing with this guy here? Where’s Rove? Where are these other guys?’ ” Collins said, referring to Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who was identified during the investigation as one of the senior officials who revealed the identity of the operative, Valerie Plame, to journalists.

‘Where’s Rove? Where are these other guys?’

Juror says Libby was guilty but was set up to take the fall in Plame probe
