I hear all this caterwauling about pardons showing this and that about Bush, I heard nary a mew when Clinton was doing it. This trial has appeal written all over it. BTW: I thought it was stupid to go after Klinton for lying about his lack of morals and judgement and I think going after Libby was as big a waste of money. The government needs to be going after real criminals.. Why don’t we send Libby to jail with Sandy Berger?

The only question is when it will happen. I’ve always assumed that Libby would be pardoned. The only question is when it will happen.

Business as usual for the Bush clan. My guess is that it will happen, just as 43 exits. He won't want to chance Libby souring on Team Bush/Cheney as he stews in jail.

He should go to jail for obstructing the system of justice. If he hadn't lied, we might see Rove or Cheney on trial right now. By pardoning him, Bush would once again show his contempt for our laws, and he will have gotten away with smearing Wilson and lying about it, all to cover for his shoddy case for war.

If Bush pardons him it is as much as a confession of his own guilt in the matter.
