Pelosi misstates what Bush said he would do...

"The president said he would hold accountable anyone involved in the Valerie Plame leak case. By his action today, the president shows his word is not to be believed." - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

So Libby did not leak Plame's name, Armitage did. Libby was convicted of lying to then grand jury about a crime that did not happen.
