Sure. But what you are saying (or any of us) is that YOU would have pardoned Libby. I say this because neither your or I are George Bush.
Perhaps he has higher standards, as I have witnessed in the past.
Maybe he thought it would damage the party more than it would help.

By NOT doing so, he has certainly set the example for NOT GOING AROUND THE LAW.
All these other politicians are known for doing the exact opposite, so...
Given the reason that STARWISE listed, do you think President Bush still should have done so?
