    In his first live interview since the guilty verdicts in the trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson told Keith Olbermann it's now time for President Bush and Vice President Cheney to be honest with the American public about their roles in the outing of his wife, CIA Operative Valerie Plame.

    Guilty as Charged: Just as Al Capone's conviction on tax evasion charges does not mean the crime boss was not guilty of anything else, Scooter Libby's conviction on charges of lying and obstruction of justice does not automatically prove that Mister Libby - and other top White House officials - did not commit the underlying crime of having outed CIA operative Valerie Plame. That parallel, drawn this afternoon by Mrs. Plame's husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, in the wake of today's verdict.

    Inside the Libby Verdict: David Shuster has been covering the Scooter Libby trial since day one, and joins keith to report the scene from inside the courtroom today, the press conferences outside, and where it all goes from here. WATCH VIDEO

    The Cloud Over the White House: Howard Fineman is here to discuss the political ramifications of today's verdict. What does the future hold for Dick Cheney? And if President Bush promised to "hold those accountable" who were responsible for the leak from his White House, then how should he react to the obstruction of justice that occurred in his White House, which prevented a proper investigation of the leak?

    It's Not Over Yet: Legal analyst Stanley Brand comes in to look at today's events and Libby's new efforts to get a new trial, then appeal. How long can the Libby team stall before he's sentenced? Long enough to be pardoned before he ever sees a federal prison? WATCH VIDEO

    The Verdict of History: Nixon White House counsel John Dean has seen this all before, and joins Keith to put this all in perspective for us. What the verdict means, what it doesn't mean, will we see a presidential pardon, and most importantly, what this verdict tells us about how this administration sold the war to the American people.
