MSM: Libby Likely to be Indicted

The NY Times says that people close to Cheney's Chief of Staff, Lewis Libby, expect Libbey to be charged with making false statements to a grand jury.

If this is true, I wonder whether the media will defend Libby as they did President Clinton when he was actually found guilty of obstruction, but still called it a "witchhunt."

Perhaps the media will choose to ignore it as they did Sandy Berger's obstruction of justice by shredding classified security documents prior to his 9/11 Commission testimony.

Or perhaps the media will push for indictments of all those other CIA and State Dept. leaks that challenged the Bush Adminstration on some part of his foreign policy. (Or Harry Reid, who spoke of classified FBI files during the Henry Saad judicial nomination process in the Senate.)

Nope - I just think they will relish this indictment, pray for jail time and hope for the destruction of the Bush Administration, as all good liberals do. Hypocrisy? Of course.
