What a nonsense summary of the man.

He clearly has rightly been found guilty, but you're pathetic diatribe is nothing more than hyperbole.

Actually,  albeit brief, it was taken straight  from the radio.It doesn't need hypoerbole.Speaks for itself I'd say.

As far as I'm aware, he was not convicted of leaking any information.

Today's Guardian - CiF Michael Tomasky.

"Far from being the sideshow that conservatives and moralists like Woodward described, this trial was always centrally about the Iraq war. The Bush administration built much of its case for invasion on lies. When those lies were exposed, its response was to try to destroy the whistleblowers - even one who was a covert CIA officer"

Another nonsense assessment.

The yellowcake story is maintained to this day by our own intelligence services and at the time by dozens across the globe.

Mr Wilson and his wife have shamelessly prostituted themselves about washington for years now, and his wifes name was anything but a secret, and leaking it was not even a crime in itself.

Mr Wilson did not expose any lies, and only began to speak out several months AFTER the war.

Joe Wislon himself LIED about his findings.

He had claimed:

  1. His wife had no involvement in recommending him for the cia trip to Niger.

  2. That there was "nothing to" the yellowcake claim.

This contradicts the senates intel investigations own findings which found:

1. That the white houses own yellowcake claims "reflecting the findings of a former Ambassador's visit to Niger."

That person was non other than Joe Wilson.

  1. That his own wife had "actively campaigned" for him to get the Niger job.

  2. That he had LIED to the press in his representation of his findings.

Lying about intel?

hmmmmm.......

This one is a non-story, as Bush will use a presidential pardon on his last day in office. Scotters attorney's will keep him out of jail until then. No problems...

Actually I simply presented what's known as FACT.

I made clear from the start, and I quote:

"He clearly has rightly been found guilty"

Read my post and correct me on my mistakes.

Just because you don't like the bush admin, doesn't me you should become blinkered when it comes to facts, otherwise we'll end up pathetically divided like America itself is.
