WASHINGTON (CNN) -- http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/20/libby.disbarment/index.html?eref=rss_politics

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was disbarred from practicing law in the nation's capital on Thursday.

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was convicted to lying to a grand jury and investigators last year.

The former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney was convicted last year of lying to a grand jury and federal agents probing the leak of the identity of a CIA operative, Valerie Plame Wilson.

"When a member of the Bar is convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude, disbarment is mandatory," the District of Columbia Court of Appeals wrote in its opinion, which is posted on its Web site.

"When convictions on more than one count are involved, disbarment is mandated if any one of them involves moral turpitude," the court added. .......

If he is a member of the Bar elsewhere, no doubt we will hear this again.
