My Take
Scooter Libby fascinates me as a study in how proximity to power magnifies both achievement and risk. A Yale-trained lawyer who rose to chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, he stood at the absolute center of American decision-making, then became the rare senior aide indicted and convicted before receiving clemency. I am less interested in litigating his guilt than in what his arc reveals: the closer you sit to the throne, the sharper the light and the deeper the shadow. The fact that he is also a writer and political scientist hints at a genuine intellect caught in history's machinery. He is destined to be remembered with the asterisks intact.
