LAT off its rocker

In an editorial today, the LAT claims that Libby's jury "had to conclude" that Libby "leaked classified information about a CIA operative to reporters on orders from Vice President Dick Cheney." This is a claim that liberals regularly make but it's untrue and they know it.

Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. No one has been convicted or even charged with leaking classified information. And it wasn't Libby who revealed Plame's identity to reporter Robert Novak. If Libby's jury considered or even discussed the leaking of classified information or the identity of Valerie Plame then Libby's conviction should be reversed.
