Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been found guilty of four counts of lying, perjury and obstructing justice during an investigation tied to the Iraq war. Investigators were trying to determine who leaked the identity of a CIA analyst in 2003.
In this backdrop we all suffer, a shard of something drives deep under a trembling wing that flails in the curvature of this time, some passageway of awareness smashes down upon us; a requiem; one long, unending swathe tries to conceal our soiled union, instead it daubs its crimson wall to wall; one, two, three, four; an impenetrable encasement.
In this backdrop we suffer, a shard of something drives deep under a trembling wing flailing in the curvature of oppression.
