Statement from Barack Obama on Scooter Libby Verdict
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Barack Obama made the following statement on the Scooter Libby verdict.

"The conviction today underscores what happens when our foreign and national security policies are subverted by politics and ideology. Leaks and innuendo in pursuit of a flawed policy lead to shameful episodes such as this. It should never happen again."

Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on the Libby Verdict

Washington, DC - "While justice has been served in the Libby case, the real lesson to come from it is that we must be vigilant in ensuring that the intelligence on burgeoning threats to our nation is beyond reproach. Clearly, the Bush Administration wasn't forthcoming about the intelligence failures leading up to the war in Iraq and as a result damaged the country's credibility. We need to ensure that our intelligence is accurate, reliable and free of political influence."

Senator John Edwards released the following statement today on the verdict finding Vice President Cheney's former Chief of Staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby guilty on multiple counts in the CIA leak case:


"Today's verdict in the Libby case is an important step in holding the Administration accountable for its consistent misuse and manipulation of intelligence to further its ideological agenda. But there are serious questions about whether the buck actually stopped with Scooter Libby. The American people deserve to know if Mr. Libby has been made a scapegoat in order to protect anyone else."
