Potential jurors expressed mixed emotions about the Bush administration and the Iraq war as jury selection began Tuesday in the perjury and obstruction trial against former White House aide "Scooter" Libby.
"Do any of you have feelings or opinions about the Bush administration or any of its policies or actions, whether positive or negative, that might affect your ability to give a former member of the Bush administration a fair trial?" U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton asked a panel of about 60 potential jurors.
"Do any of you have any feelings or opinions about Vice President Cheney, whether positive or negative, that might affect your ability to be fair in this case or that might affect your ability to fairly judge Vice President Cheney's believability?" Walton asked.
This is going to be the most entertaining trial in recent history. I am going to read every single word written about the goings on and the behind the scenes.
And when Cheney takes the stand I may even stay home from work.
