A crook pardons another crook who got convicted by a jury of his peers for committing treason.

Good decision. Why put him in prison when drug dealers walk free?????

NO SURPRISE CROOKS ALWAYS GREASE EACHOTHERS BACKSIDES.
so the law means what in america? apparently nothing.!!!

Commuting Libby's sentence accomplishes the same thing as a pardon, keeping a crook out of jail. Impeach the crook in the White House for obstruction of justice!

Since there was NO CRIME involved, I think it was the right decision...

Bush has officially jumped the shark. I can't wait for his reign of terror to come to an end.

He is more guilty than Paris Hilton and should have to serve his sentence.

Bullcrap!! If this person wasn't of interested, would he get the full sentence?? I guess it's true, it's not what you know, but "Who" you know!!!

It's about time. The poor man was a scapegoat and did nothing wrong. Shame on Bush for waiting so long.

Now it's time to get those two border guards out of prison, put there for doing their jobs.

Figures. Day by day I get more disgusted with Bush and his redtards. They're a lying bunch of criminal morons.

Since when is obstruction of justice not a crime? And why does Libby deserve special treatment? This is nothing more than corruption paid back with more corruption. Nice legacy.

Can't the president still pardon Scooter Libby at the end of his term?

Yeah, big surprise here...justice doesn't count when you play golf with the Skull'n'Bones clan. I figured they would wait until Bush was on his way out, but I guess they had to move when Scooter's appeal to stay out of jail was rejected. I'm quite sure Libby has enough dirt on Cheney to have him sent to Gitmo (until his sentence was commuted, too), so they had to do something to keep their scapegoat happy.

BTW, he SHOULD have been pardoned. Bush only partly did the right thing. Libby won't spend time in proson, but his life is still ruined, and for nothing.

Its just another example of the "Bush-Cheeney Good 'ol Boys Network" where those in the circle are placed above the interest of the county and the American justice system. I didn’t think the President's credibility could get any lower. Boy was I wrong.

More obfuscation from the Shrub. The right-wing kookocracy will pay off Libby's fines and one of their non-"think-tanks" will soon have him on the payroll. The big Dick (Cheney) will then be on the phone once again asking him for his advice. Another case of special "justice" for special people.
Let the revolution begin!

Well, once again - this administration thumbs its nose at oversight, though this time it's not just at the legislative branch - this time at the courts. This "leak" originated in the White House. It is Cheney and Bush who should have been going to jail. Thus, there is no surprise that they have pardoned their messenger. It was political, and it is shameful. It seems that the law does not apply to those in high places in the Bush Administration. They are far above it. The law is thus made mockery. Equal Justice Under Law? Not here - no more. And, yet it continues - it makes me sick to my stomach.

Why are we shocked about this commutation of Libby's prison sentence. Dear Bush's Conscience bothered him, knowing that it should have been him and/or his vice president going to prison.....Americans, the Supreme Court, stacked by Daddy Bush, made the son, Bush President of the USA. The people didn't. Therefore, why are we surprised by the lack of scruples exhibited by the Son, Bush, who calls himself President of the USA?????

Did you really expect anything different?

This is the letter I wrote to the White House today:

To whom ever gets this e-mail,

I am neigther a Democrat or a Republican, but rather a citizen who votes for whoever I believe is the best candidate, and lately for the party that is least corrupt. Right now - that is not you - not the republican party. I am disappointed and disgusted by the pardon the president has given to Scooter Libby. I have nothing against Mr. Libby or either party, but the man was convicted of a perjury in a court of law - he broke the law.

But as has been the case to often in our government lately - loyalty to the president is put above what is best for the country - or in this case what is just.

I will vote Democrat in the next election because of this - and will encourage my entire family and all my friends to do so as well - not that I assume they are less corrupt than you - but you and the Republicans have now lost your turn in my eyes.

Good day
