Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, stood calmly before a packed courtroom as a federal judge in Washington said the evidence overwhelmingly proved his guilt.
US District Judge Reggie B Walton said: “People who occupy these types of positions, where they have the welfare and security of nation in their hands, have a special obligation to not do anything that might create a problem.”
