    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.

    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.

    Of course, Libby will go for an appeal.

    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.

    Cheney did make one comment...."Grrrrrr"

    My point of view on the subject is that,

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    A sample:

    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.
