Scooter’s Show Trial

While I have no use personally for Scooter Libby and the others in the Bush Administration, his trial was a farce and really a show trial more than anything else. I am sick of prosecutors like Patrick Fitzgerald who are portrayed as heroes, but in reality are dishonest to the core.

As some readers know, I have concentrated much of this past year on the Duke Lacrosse Non-Rape case. The prosecutor, Michael B. Nifong, is evil and deserves to go to prison, but I also will say that the ranks of federal prosecutors are full of people like Nifong and worse. Bill Moushey’s series on the federal criminal system is only the tip of that proverbial iceberg. To be honest, I am sick of so-called criminal justice in this country. Welcome to Prison Nation, but all too often the wrong people are in prison.
