Libby indictment - perjury?

So "Scooter" got fingered for his role in exposing a government agent -- justice will be done...

Not quite! No, Libby won't be charged for revealing the name -- he'll be charged with lying about revealing the name. This isn't the first time we've found our justice system more concerned with than with truth than with law.

It doesn't concern me, greatly, but I don't understand why the government would not seek the maximum charge possible in a case such as this. Perhaps there simply wasn't enough evidence, but, if this is the case, how can hope to make a perjury charge stick?

By the way, no one in this small town cares a wit about Libby and his supposed lies.
