Joseph Wilson: "you don’t abuse the public trust engaging in personal vendettas"
Think Progress has audio of Ambassador Wilson's press briefing this afternoon:
“Now that this trial is over,” Wilson said, “the president and the vice president owe the country a much broader explanation of their own actions.” Wilson called on them both to release the transcripts of their discussions with Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, and called on Bush specifically to apologize for overseeing the outing of his wife:
I also learned today that the president was quoted as saying that he was sorry for Mr. Libby and his family. I wish that he would express his sorrow for what has happened to my wife, whose career was destroyed as a consequence of this, and also to the service people of this country who are fighting in a war that now very clearly was justified by lies and disinformation.
Wilson said he hoped the verdict would teach Libby and other U.S. officials a lesson, that “you don’t abuse the public trust engaging in personal vendettas.”
Reaction to Libby's verdict
Justice was served. No one is above the law. No even a White House aide. I heard Bush's reaction to the verdict. Bush said that he feels sorry for Libby and his family. No one journalists ever mention how the Wilsons felt from this betrayal by the White House Administration. There are four victims involved in this case: Joe Wilson, Valerie Wilson, and their two children. Not one journalist ever mention those two children as the innocent victims in this case. The White House are in denial to the fact that the Wilsons' lives and their children's lives will never be the same again. This was a pure personal vendetta not some misremembering as Libby and his attorneys: John Cline, William Jeffress, and Theodore Wells are claiming. The White House has abused the public servants in this country and the public's trust.

my wife, whose career was destroyed as a consequence of this,
Wilson's wife is the pot calling the kettle black - she is the one who sent her bozo husband to Niger - a job he was not qualified to do - in the hopes he would get a fat paycheck.
Now the golddiggers will sue and live happily ever after on a ranch in Montana.
Plame was NEVER "outed". No crime was committed. Fitz went fishing and caught a minow. Much waste of tax dollars.
