I really did wonder if
Bush would have the guts to pardon Libby which only furthers the image that he's cultivated over the years as being someone who completely flouts the law. To be straight, he didn't actually
pardon him, just commuted, but that still means that Libby won't be seing the inside of a jail.
He's left instead with a $250,000 fine and probation, but gosh if that 3 year sentance wasn't "excessive".
Bush couldn't allow that for a loyal lier. Torture is ok for people that look like terrorists, but
bushies remain ever safe.

The president noted Libby supporters' argument that the punishment did not fit the crime for a ''first-time offender with years of exceptional public service.

Oh really?
He was convicted of a "five-count indictment alleging perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements to FBI investigators" during an investiagation of presidential misconduct. His actions shielded the nation's highest criminal and this quote definitely applies:

"People who occupy these types of positions, where they have the welfare and security of the nation in their hands, have a special obligation to not do anything that might create a problem"

If ever someone someday pardons Bush and Cheney,
their career will die (I hope).
