Sidney Blumenthal in Salon (no link due to subscription-only firewall):
If he [Libby had] testified truthfully in October 2004 the result would have consumed the final days of the [presidential election] campaign. His Leninist logic permitted him to protect the Republican cause, but he has tainted Bush's victory in history as surely as the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore did in 2000.Illegitimate pretenders to power still rule us. That doesn't make the 59 million who voted for Bush any less pathetic, though.
