Perhaps you are unaware, BB, that under our justice system, judges are given a fairly wide range when it comes to sentencing, so they can tailor it to the consequences of the offense, which, in this case, were negligible. The matter should never have been brought up in the first place, and Clinton's main error (following his inability to keep his fly zipped) was in not refusing to answer at all.

How come it's a mortal sin for Clinton to lie about his sexual transgression (which involved two consenting adults and resulted in the death of no one) but it's perfectly all right for the Bush League to lie to the country and the rest of the world in order justify the invasion of another country (which, so far, has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands)? Answer me that!

But there you are, insisting on discussing Clinton, when the subject of this thread is the Plame outing. Red herring to draw attention away from the real issue.
