When the decider (GWB) comuted Libby’s jail time, to A find. This changed the rule of law on sentencing people who lie under oath.Now anyone can lie and expect the same sentence as Libby got. It’s only right. Also the decider has not explained about Libby’s probation time? were still waiting on that one?

Speaking of the news media and disservice they do to Americans, lets take a closer look at the Libby and Riva comparison being called the same: from the Supreme Court opinion:

Rita was convicted in May 1986, and sentenced to five yearsâ€™ probation for making false statements in connection with the purchase of firearms. Because this conviction took place more than 10 years before the present offense, it did not count against Rita [for purposes of the Sentencing Guidelines]. And because Rita had no other relevant convictions, the Guidelines considered him as having no criminal history points.

So in fact, Rita had been convicted for perjury for the second time in a gun-related investigation. Like Mr. Libby, Mr. Rita had no criminal history for purposes of the federal sentencing guidelines.Mr. Rita was convicted on two occasions of perjury in gun related investigations; in the second investigation, indictments for the underlying crime were returned. Not a compelling comparison to the Libby case.

“And jsut so we are all clearâ€¦.FEMA has set up INTERNMENT camps inside our own country for the sole reason to imprison AMERICANS if and when needed.(There over 600 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States.”

good lord that is one of the stupidest things i have ever read. comments like that just make us look like loons
