"This decision to commute the sentence of a man who compromised our national security cements the legacy of an Administration characterized by a politics of cynicism and division, one that has consistently placed itself and its ideology above the law. This is exactly the kind of politics we must change so we can begin restoring the American people’s faith in a government that puts the country’s progress ahead of the bitter partisanship of recent years."

B. Obama

(Sullivan's comment;)
A great move by Obama. This has to be hung around every Republican's neck. They are now the party of corruption, irresponsibility in national security, and perjury. The Republican party impeached the last president for perjury over sexual harassment. But they commute the sentence of a man who perjured himself in part because he leaked a national security secret. That tells you everything. They care more about their privileged friends than the rule of law. We now know that for sure.

Andrew misses the elephant in the room. Bush HAD to give Libby a pass. If he didn't commute Libby's sentence, Libby was left with two options, do the time or make a deal and talk. Apparently, Libby had made it known to Bush he WASN'T going to do the time.
