Slave was saying that on the basis of facts that Fitzpatrick later contradicted in court filings. For example, he seemed pretty sure that Plame wasn't under cover, but Fitz and the CIA said otherwise. And the fact that Fitz did not bring charges does not mean that no law was broken.
I don't have a problem with the sentence he got. I have a problem with Bush commuting the sentence, less because I care about Libby doing time and more because I'm disgusted by the way that this administration puts itself above the law.

Blah blah blah... Read your boy Kinsley's Oped in the NYTimes this morning. He nails the Libby/Clinton debacles perfectly. For once, he has my proxy on an issue.
Actually, it's not "my" anything. It's just common sense. And anyone who disagrees with Kinsley is clearly letting his partisan sympathies overcome his rational brain.
