That's what happens when any President tries to be conciliatory. Libby evidently didn't tell the truth (was it an actual lie, if there was no charge actually filed against anyone, and that it turns out that Armitage did the deed, and no one arrested him....) Convoluted, but the whole thing was convoluted!!! So evidently Libby didn't tell the truth (whatever the truth was to a bogus charge), so he took the prison part off, and left a QUARTER of MILLION dollar fine on, plus Two Years of Probation.... Geeze.........we give AQ suspects better sentences than Libby got. AND THEN, HILLARY has the guts to say " 'In this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice'" Look at the LONG list her husband pardoned at the last minute....Including Mark Rich, convicted felon.........

From S&L--New York Times’ Boldfaced Lies About Joe Wilson July 3rd, 2007 farm2.static.flickr.com From the Orwellian pages of the New York Times: Soft on Crime When he was running for president, George W. Bush loved to contrast his law-abiding morality with that of President Clinton, who was charged with perjury and acquitted. For Mr. Bush, the candidate, “politics, after a time of tarnished ideals, can be higher and better.” Not so for Mr. Bush, the president. Judging from his decision yesterday to commute the 30-month sentence of I. Lewis Libby Jr. — who was charged with perjury and convicted — untarnished ideals are less of a priority than protecting the secrets of his inner circle and mollifying the tiny slice of right-wing Americans left in his political base. Mr. Libby was convicted of lying to federal agents investigating the leak of the name of a covert C.I.A. operative, Valerie Wilson. Mrs. Wilson’s husband, Joseph Wilson, was asked to investigate a central claim in Mr. Bush’s drive to war with Iraq — whether Iraq tried to purchase uranium from Africa. Mr. Wilson concluded that Iraq had not done that and had the temerity to share those conclusions with the American public. It seems clear from the record that Vice President Dick Cheney organized a campaign to discredit Mr. Wilson. And Mr. Libby, who was Mr. Cheney’s chief of staff, was willing to lie to protect his boss… Remember how boldly and easily the New York Times lies each and every time you read an article from them. They are shameless, dangerous liars.
