Libby Commuted, Bush Still President

Bush Wipes Away Libby's Prison Sentence July 3, 2007 - 7:33am By MATT APUZZO Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Just when things looked darkest for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, when prison seemed all but certain, President Bush wiped away the former White House aide's 2 1/2-year sentence in the CIA leak case. (WTOP)

There are a couple of points that some people are missing:

1) Despite the evidence or lack there of, the man was found guilty in the court of law.

2) Despite the fact that most people think he is little more than a scapegoat (I happen to be one of them), he was sentenced to jail by a court of law through due process.

3) Also, through this due process, the court system said he had to start his jail time while he appealed the decisions of the court.

4) For those who want to hold up Clinton’s records of pardons, please remember this, President Clinton was impeached by the Congress of the United States for lying about having sex. President Bush has yet to be even scared for violating FISA, several sections of the Constitution, and a couple of other laws that are considered felonies and could be considered treason.

Do I agree that Libby’s sentence should have been commuted? Nope. But then, I also believe that George W. Bush should stand trial in The Hague for crimes against humanity as well. And that will never happen either.
