The U.S. vs. Lewis Libby

In the case, U.S. vs. Lewis Libby; Bush sided with Libby. Bush kept him out of jail. Lucky for Libby that he isn't poor and black.

Once again, Bush is managing to mismanage and in the process, even screwing his fellow Republicans. He commuted the sentence instead of pardoning Libby. Later, he'll decide about a pardon. A pardon would have ended the matter well in advance of the 08 election. As it is, the matter will drag on and on. No Republican candidate wants Libby hung around his neck.

I remember the outcry from conservatives over a couple of Clinton pardons at the end of his second term. Now the same people are advocating for a pardon (of Libby). Its not about principles.

Could it be that Hillary has been silent about Libby until now because she does not want to re-kindle the memory of her husband's controversial pardons?
