Sowell on Libby: Gone Fishin'
The erudite Thomas Sowell discusses the recent indictment against Lewis "Scooter" Libby:
It is one thing to tell the world the name of some C.I.A. agent operating in Iran or North Korea, for that agent may never come back alive as a result of being outed. It is something else to say that Joe Wilson got the assignment to go to Niger because his wife sits behind a desk at C.I.A. headquarters in Virginia.
Put bluntly, too often the authorization of an investigation is essentially a fishing license to enable the prosecutor to find something to prosecute, whether or not he can get evidence to prosecute the crime he was supposed to be investigating.
I love this man! Read it all.

I love him too! and he said exactly what I have been saying for some time now. Brilliant, that man is.
Thomas Sowell is RIGHT on target.
