Our Justice System…

Filed under: Political

I just read this that Paris Hilton is out of jail after three days.

I. “Scooter” Libby is going to jail for 30 months because he didn’t remember some dates of conversations that happened a few years ago.

To me Mr. Libby is the scape goat for a political witch hunt.  A witch hunt where there is no witch at all.  The whole premise for that investigation was not there.  The premise was that Valerie Plame was a “covert” agent, but she wasn’t.  Therefore her name was not classified.  So they convene a grand jury on a false premise.  The grand jury is able to get some one (Libby) to not remember a date of a conversation, and they charge him with perjury.  He goes to jail for 30 months.  (To be fair, it’s not known how much time he will serve, but the basis for him going to jail is not nearly as strong as it was for Hilton.)

Hilton goes to jail for three days for real offenses.

I don’t see how this is fair.
