Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been found guilty on four of five counts in his perjury and obstruction of justice trial.
Libby was convicted of:
# obstruction of justice when he intentionally deceived a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame;
# making a false statement by intentionally lying to FBI agents about a conversation with NBC newsman Tim Russert;
# perjury when he lied in court about his conversation with Russert;
# a second count of perjury when he lied in court about conversations with other reporters.
Does that make today Fitzmas?
This + the senate and house hearings on fired US attorneys + the continuing fallout of the walter reed medical center scandal + the war in iraq + the MASSIVE NATO lead fight in Afghanistan makes today a very very bad day for the administration.

To help determine whether the United States is growing more or less safe, FOREIGN POLICY and the Center for American Progress teamed up once again to survey more than 100 of America’s top foreign-policy experts—Republicans and Democrats alike—in the second FOREIGN POLICY/Center for American Progress Terrorism Index. First launched last June, the Terrorism Index is the only comprehensive, nonpartisan effort to mine the highest echelons of the nation’s foreign-policy establishment for its assessment of how the United States is fighting the Global War on Terror. Its participants include people who have served as secretary of state and national security advisor, senior White House aides, top commanders in the U.S. military, seasoned intelligence officers, and distinguished academics and journalists. Eighty percent of the experts have served in the U.S. government—more than half in the executive branch, 26 percent in the military, and 18 percent in the intelligence community.
The full report is available in PDF format. There is also video of discussion on YouTube:
