You’re right about the border agents, but I also heard it about Libby at the same time that his sentence was commuted. The question was asked at the time—why not a full pardon? That was the answer that was put forth. Again, who knows?

This is exactly the way I remember it. At the time of the commutation, Libby was still in the appeals process.
IIRC, it was sometime later that Libby dropped the appeal due to finances. This could be why VP Cheney now wanted the pardon.

Pres. Bush didn’t do it...I assume he didn’t want to.
