Libby verdict, naked photos of mother strangling badger may haunt Bush, Cheney
"This is not some minor Munchkin in the office, Libby was Cheney's eyes and ears. It's hard to believe that Cheney didn't know everything."

"It's an outcome that's going to further diminish the president's standing on Capitol Hill and make it more difficult for the administration to press its cause in its final two years here," professor Anthony Corrado said.

Politics professor Larry Sabato added: "The biggest problem Bush has is Iraq, and this reinforces his problems. It just reminds people that they (the Bush administration) totally own this highly unpopular war."

The high-profile trial revealed the inner workings of the White House and became the latest setback for the Bush [mis]administration's war policy. It followed previous flaps over flawed intelligence on weapons of mass destruction, the failure to contain a violent insurgency and sectarian strife, prisoner abuses and an outcry over treatment of U.S. war wounded.
