Libby Allies Call for Pardon From Bush

Lewis "Scooter" Libby's allies renewed their call for President Bush to pardon the former White House aide but President Bush rebuffed questions Wednesday about whether he'd intervene to prevent Libby's 2 1/2-year prison sentence.

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was sentenced Tuesday for lying and obstructing the CIA leak investigation. He became the highest-ranking White House official sentenced to prison since the Iran-Contra affair.

A Republican stalwart, Libby drew more than 150 letters of support from military commanders and diplomats who praised his government service from the Cold War through the early days of the Iraq war.

"I hope the president feels sufficient pressure to issue a pardon," former Ambassador Richard Carlson said Wednesday. "He's a man of principle, like him or not, and the principle in this case is that a pardon is the right thing to do."

Pardon who would of thought...

Aint it the truth, why not pardon the asshole, he was the wrong accused in this fiasco anyway. The real guys will skate as usual, thats America.[

Medicinal I was just remembering that you mentioned being in the Marine Core. I'm just wondering, is there some aspect of your experiences there that changed your views regarding the government system? I just find it interesting seeing a veteran with your views as most fellows in the army these days seem to be right-wingers.

btw, while there's times a strongly agree and disagree with you, I do think you're a smart guy with some solid knowledge. Keep up the good work!:thumbsup:
