He received a presidential commutation; there is a diffrence. However a pardon is still a possibility in the near future.

Relax, chief - every president does this, it's basically standard.

If you're going to jump on a bandwagon, why not at least look into the subject more? Libby is loved by a lot of Dems. He's not exactly the most polarizing figure out there. It's not like Rove was the one on trial. So he's not only a bad candidate to attack, his sentence was ridiculous, and Bush hasn't gone on a pardon spree like Clinton and Ford.

Probably would have been. But I was all of 10-18 during the clinton years. Can't say I was all too concerned with politics.

Commuted Sentence, Not Pardoned (Yet)
President Bush wouldn't rule out a pardon for former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, after sparing him a 30-month prison sentence. But Bush said the $250,000 fine and two years' probation assessed Libby should stand.
Guess Cheney's not planning on running for dog catcher.

OK, I know a lot of Presidents have done it, and I've already said above that it seem excessive to give Libby longer sentences than some of the Watergate conspirators, I think that for any President to do this kind of thing is an affront to our legal system.

So you think Ford was wrong? Or is it different when you do it preemptively?
Do you not believe in commutations or pardons generally, or just in cases of a political nature? Or just of a political nature involving members of his own administration?
