Yes, it's begun. Innocent people are being thrown into prison purely for political reasons. I'd hoped that this sort of thing had gone out of style with the old Soviet Union. Or South Africa during Apartheid. Sadly, no ( ... )

Setting our political feelings aside for a moment, setting aside our justifiable anger at all the s##t that Bush and Cheney have done to this country - if Mr. Libby was your father or your husband or your brother getting locked away for the rest of his life, would you say that justice had been done?
