find the Libby matter worthwhile?

For the few non-lawyers, an indictment for obstruction of justice is really a very lame, made up crime. It is basically imposed when the prosecutor gets angry at somebody and can't find anything else to charge with. There isn't a person alive who couldn't be indicted, like a ham sandwich, for obstruction of justice. Usually, you're simply placed in a rock and a hard place, i.e., testify as the prosecutor wants you to testify or be charged with lying.

It's akin to trying to get Clinton for perjury about anything, Whitewater, sex anything. It's basically a hatchet job, most of the time. Personally, I believe the crime should be eliminated as it's usually used only in politically motivated situations.
