Scooter Libby is found guilty of leaking the identity of Valerie Plame, the CIA agent who's the wife of a anti-Bush politician. Libby was the chief of staff of VP Dick Cheney. This whole thing just filled with DC intrigue and political conspiracy.
The maximum jail time for Libby is 30 years. However, I don't think he'll do more than 2. He and his lawyers of course started the appeals process. That will take awhile. If the appeals fells, Libby will probably will not see much of the inside of a prison. When Bush leaves office in 2008, Libby's pardon will be the first "to-do" on his list.
American politic is so predictable and unsavory.
