(Democrat) Party leaders — have written a letter to Bush urging that he promise not to pardon Libby, who has been charged with obstruction of justice and perjury in the CIA-leak case........Clinton ducked taking a position on the letter.

According to my Webster II New Riverside University Dictionary the word pardon is defined as Law a. The exemption of a convicted person from the penalties of an offense or crime by the power of the executor of the laws.

The Democrats not only can't wait for a conviction, they want to bypass the trial.

So do apparently, some FReepers.

Mr. Libby has been tried, convicted, and branded with a Scarlett Letter.

After all, he wrote a book that nobody here has read, yet some feel comfortable as characterizing as "porn", making Libby out to be Larry Flynt...

True enough----Dims could care less about our laws.....but if the history books are accurate, Ford pardoned Nixon without a trial.
