Finally, one of the articles said, "Prosecutors convinced the jury that Libby deliberately obscured his role in a White House campaign in 2003, shortly after the Iraq war began, to discredit Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV."

This assertion of "a White House campaign" against Mr. Wilson and his wife was nicely rebutted in one of this nation's most prestigious newspapers: "Mr. Libby's trial provided convincing evidence that the revelation of Ms. Plame's identity was not the result of a conspiracy to punish her husband, administration critic Joseph C. Wilson IV — the allegation that caused all the partisan furor surrounding the case and that led to [special prosecutor Patrick J.] Fitzgerald's appointment."

The source of that quote? Yesterday's Washington Post editorial criticizing Mr. Bush's action.
