You did say (IIRC) that Libby's prosecution was political, which is absurd. There wasn't a Democrat involved anywhere in the process. At every stage, you had Republican appointees making the decisions. Indeed, the thing was depoliticized by the fact that various political appointees -- Ashcroft, most notably -- had to recuse themselves, letting Fitzpatrick do his job as he saw fit.
