The big spin is spinning... According to Fox and the Wapo editorial post...

1: There's "no underlying crime". In other words, Libby is convicted, yes, but he's convicted of a non-crime; ie perjury. Perjusry is a non-crime in this instance, because Libby was not charged with treason, which the outing of a NOC agent woud be. In other news, Bill Clinton was not charged with having sex, but was impeached for perjury.

2: Valerie Plame Wilson was not covert. While it is true that the CIA does not confirm or deny the existence of NOCs, the FBI, The Grand Jury, the Special Prosecutor, and the Vice President's office all agree that, yes, she was covert.

3: I cant remember what the third spin point is, and my assistant just got here and Mona needs to go for a walk, so I have to get going.

Pat, Marc, Dale? Can you give us the RW spin straight from the horses mouth?
