The New York Times reports that Scooter Libby has been sentenced to jail for perjury and obstruction of justice. Poor Scooter. He lied, probably to protect Dick Cheney, and he got caught. Worse yet, he got prosecuted (which is a bigger sin, in this administration). But there is no doubt in my mind that we caught the wrong fish, and that George and Dick have dodged a bullet on this one (to mangle my metaphors) thanks to their fall guy.
