Guilty!

After 10 days of deliberation, the jury in the Scooter Libby trial have found the former top aide to Vice President Cheney guilty on four counts.

He was found to have committed two counts of perjury, one count of making false statements, and one count of obstruction of justice.

The jury aquitted him of one count of making false statements.

Initial reports indicate he may be in for up to 25 years in federal jail. As a small guy, I'm sure he'll be quickly adopted by some large 'protectors'.

At least until his almost-certainly-forthcoming presidential pardon.

Update at 12:56 pm: As Speaker Pelosi notes:

“Today's guilty verdicts are not solely about the acts of one individual.

“This trial provided a troubling picture of the inner workings of the Bush Administration. The testimony unmistakably revealed – at the highest levels of the Bush Administration – a callous disregard in handling sensitive national security information and a disposition to smear critics of the war in Iraq.”
