When Victor Rita was convicted of perjury, Bush's Justice Department urged that he serve 33 months in jail. Rita had been involved in government work for years, served with distinction in the army for 25 years and had no criminal history. Other than his military service, how does Rita's situation differ from Libby's?
Bush's Justice Department asked for 24+years for a Dynegy executive who was convicted of fraud. Is this a worse crime than outing a CIA agent and lying about it?
Gonzales has been pushing for tougher federal sentences. I guess they would only apply to you and me.
