An incredible miscarriage of justice.

Joe Wilson ... Valerie Plame ... Richard Armitage ... Colin Powell

Each of these unrepentant liars owe Scooter Libby his life back. Each are atrocious cowards for not setting the record straight.

One of the biggest mistakes George W. Bush ever made was NOT PARDONING Scooter Libby when he CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE.

POLITICAL PING

And what about Bush? No pardon...just commutation. Another coward.

[FES0844]

And Rangel & all the other crooks walk free.
Disgusting miscarriage of JUSTICE.

Agreed. Republicans are real morons when it comes playing the scandal game

Libby went to jail for absolutely nothing. Charley Rangle and Maxine Waters commit felonies and get a slap on the wrist.

President Bush said he almost lost his friendship with Dick Cheney over this. Dick you should have resigned. I wouldn't have blamed you one bit.

In a supreme act of political graciousness in the service of justice, President Obama should "serve up" the pardon Mr. Libby deserves.

Oh yeah. Like that's going to happen. Obama will pass out plenty of pardons on his way out of office. To people like Mumia Abu-Jamal, Charlie Rangel or Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Libby will not even get reviewed. Perhaps the Republican who takes the White House back in 2012 will have more cojones on this issue than GWB.

I was a classmate of Scooter's for four years (and was rejected as a classmate of Plame at The Farm...hopefully just for my age of 35).

The next GOP president may well pardon Scooter, now that his rehabilitation is being so well articulated and the injustice so clear. I suspect that the recent excellent article by another Scooter classmate, Stan Crock (a former BusinessWeek reporter) may have prompted this new editorial by a prominent conservative journalist!

Bush needed to affirm that an American jury has a right to be respected and to make sure that the historical record affirmed that he was independent from Cheney and that Cheney and his team were subordinate to him and accountable under the law. Cheney and Scooter screwed up by failing to protect Plame’s CIA status 100% (even though she was complicit in her husband's partisan attempt to undermine Bush) and then allowing themselves to even get into a position where a “memory problem” could result in a conviction that could be and continues to be spun as a smear against the WMD case against Saddam.

Memory problem or not, Scooter gave the appearance (at least in the anti-Bush media and the the prosecutor) of failing to be fully truthful so as to protect Cheney. Bush couldn't bring himself to pardon Scooter, but I suspect that the next GOP president might well.
