let's hear YOUR interpretation of the Libby conviction I have no "interpretation". It is what it is; he was convicted of something like obstruction and perjury, essentially, the same things Bill Clinton did (but wasn't tried for). I have no reason to believe it does or doesn't go a bit further than that. There apparently was no evidence of any other wrongdoing. then the action Bush took to make sure he spent no time in jail, for a crime he'd been convicted of while serving Bush. Bush exercised his absolute right. Unlike the last Democrat president, however, he didn't abuse the right of pardon and he didn't collect money for them. If Bush believed the sentence was too harsh, he totally was within his rights to reduce it. Frankly, I wouldn't argue with the president's right to make pardons except where he is selling them as Clinton was, or isn't judicious in the use of the power, which GWB totally was. So, I guess I'd have to say I don't take issue with anything that happened in regard to Libby. There is no evidence of wrongdoing BEYOND what he was convicted of, however.
