Wasnt he associated with someone that Bubba commuted?? I believe Libby represented Marc Rich at one time -- not sure whether he represented him at the time of the pardon.

I have become cynical-(in politics,
not real life)....and I blame it on Bush.
I am suspect of every word & gesture now.

That’s what I was hoping. I knew that Libby didn’t want a pardon until the appeals were exhausted. I wouldn’t either.

Here is the key sentense from President Bush’s statement, imho:
“Finally, critics say the punishment does not fit the crime: Mr. Libby was a first-time offender with years of exceptional public service and was handed a harsh sentence based in part on allegations never presented to the jury.”
He is really slapping the court here....with the last part of this sentence. Good for the President.

Man, you read my mind! It’s way past time for the President to pardon these agents.

We are on the same page! :) Beginning to think it is a woman thing that we have a tendency to look closer.

Sandy Berger gets a slap on the wrist for stealing and destroying classified material and Scooter Libby gets 3 years for different recollections with regards to a he said/he said conversation with a slime reporter (if you want to call Tim Russert a reporter). But what does one expect - Berger is a Dim and Libby is a Republican. Very good move by the President, but his Administration's earlier "slap on the wrist" treatment for Sandy Burglar raises even more disgust--you know it and I know it.

Libby did represent Rich, but before his pardon. Libby made the gaffe of congratulating Rich on his pardon not long after he became Cheney’s COS. He did not use good judgment in that regard.

He could have demanded that that HIS DOJ not cut a deal with Berger.

Thanks for posting President Bush's comments!
Worth repeating...
Critics of the investigation have argued that a special counsel should not have been appointed, nor should the investigation have been pursued after the Justice Department learned who leaked Ms. Plames name to columnist Robert Novak. Furthermore, the critics point out that neither Mr. Libby nor anyone else has been charged with violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act or the Espionage Act, which were the original subjects of the investigation.

I repeat a post I made earlier; best part of the President’s statement is the following:
Finally, critics say the punishment does not fit the crime: Mr. Libby was a first-time offender with years of exceptional public service and was handed a harsh sentence based in part on allegations never presented to the jury.
