I won't argue with you on this one jlew. Pardoning Marc Rich over Leonard Peltier will be something I don't know if I could ever forgive slick Willy for.
They're a bunch of lying, theiving, manipulating crooks. I knew it from the beginning as many in the world..it just gets confirmed day after day....feel Bush II is worse than Nixon or any president of this great land. ...I feel real sympathy for those that trusted Bush and his cronies........and the far right must really be realing from being punked. Just remember...the more politicians use religion for gain....the more they're gonna fk you. Just go ahead and vote pro choice....those are the only rational folks anyway. (-:

they're meant for crimes that happened a long time ago....drug related..non violent....and the perp has turned his life around.......hell, I think all drug related criminals should be let out immediately.

Anyway, pardoning Scooty was probably all part of some deal Bush, Cheney and Libby worked out. "If you take the hit, Scooter, don't worry, Bush will pardon you." I'll come testify at your trial..."
Reid is demanding that Bush not pardon Libby. Cheney won't comment when asked about it.

I can't understand why Libby was being tried for perjury instead of treason. Is it not considered an act of treason to expose a CIA agent, especially in "wartime"? The question of when he told the media pales in comparison to the fact that he DID tell the media and the REASON behind the leak. A leak which took place during the timeframe in which our country was is declared state of war in both in Afghanistan and Iraq. A leak which influenced and prolonged the foundation "to stay the course".
So, now that perjury has been established. Now that it has been determined that Libby did leak this information during wartime. Shouldn't he be tried for treason? Look how many people have died and continue to die based on this deception of information.
At the very least, he should have to serve his time in Leavenworth, like any other traitor who reveals an CIA's agent identity.
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
Look, Libby will either be pardon or receive a sentence and sent to a place where it's more like a resort stay then a prison. Libby is a powerbroker is dirty work.
What do you think will happen to those who gave him his marching orders. They will continue, then fade into the background until the next decisive Republician change over takes place. By that time there will be no laws, no court, no division of power to prevent the absolute power in the execution of rule by the executive branch. That is the job of people like Libby. Of course, all this will be lost in the whole, liberal vs conservative bullshit. And a media comparison of well look what the Clintons did.

Exactly! The shadow hand will fit yet another puppet.

Cheney issued a statement saying he was "very disappointed with the verdict."
"I am saddened for Scooter and his family," Cheney said. "As I have said before, Scooter has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction through many years of public service."
So Cheney says scoots a hero...
Why the heck are we all calling this lying dude scooter for anyways? It's like his name is already lessening the impact of what he did.
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
We've heard testimony that Libby was told of Mrs. Wilson in June and July by:
The Vice President, Grossman, Grenier, Judith Martin and Matthew Cooper.
We've heard testimony that during that same time period he spoke of Mrs. Wilson to:
Judith Miller (twice) Craig Schmall, Ari Fleischer.
We've also heard testimony that he received from the Vice President a July 6 New York Times article by Joseph Wilson with a handwritten note about Wilson's wife.
We've also heard testimony that Libby approached David Addington and asked if a CIA employee sent a spouse on a mission would there be a paper trail. A logical inference is that Libby was talking about Mrs. Wilson.
We take a vote - 9 for conviction, 2 against.
"I just think he was confused. He had a lot on his plate."
"I just don't see why a man with that much intelligence and being a lawyer would lie? Why not go into the Grand Jury and say I didn't tell the truth?"
We retire for the evening.
The next morning we begin again. Revisit our charts. We do not ask the two holdouts to change their minds. We ask them instead to change ours. After 20 minutes we vote again.
Unanimous for conviction. There is no celebration, just a communal sigh. We have four counts to go.

I fully agree with you. This is the biggest abuse of power.
And if they weren't pardoned they would be playing golf at the local prison for rich people and calling it a prison term.

Libby - Nixon - Watergate
Libby - Reagan - Iran-Contra
Libby - Bush - Afghanistan
