Bush, Cheney can't let Libby go to trial

We'll never know whether I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is guilty of lying to a grand jury as charged.

Despite Libby's not guilty plea at Thursday's preliminary hearing, President Bush and Vice President Cheney can't afford to let him go to trial. So they'll offer him the moon to plea bargain for the best deal he can cut.

Testimony in a trial likely would show that Bush, Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld were hell bent to invade Iraq, reasons be damned. When their phony cover that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction was blown, they hunkered down against anyone who told the truth about their trickery.

I must confess that I rarely read USA Today, and I have never heard of Al Neuharth. But if this is an example of his 'talents'. then I have missed nothing. His 'insight' into current politics may please his boss @ USA Today, but without a shread of truth, wisdom, or credibility.
&quot;Ash-heap, here comes another one!!!&quot;
