SCooter Libby's Pardon
Yet again, this administration has seen fit to ignore the wishes of the people and the laws of the country. As I understand it, there is a pardons process that can take years in some cases and this was not followed.
As stated, Libby was basically protected for keeping his mouth shut. Where is the Congressional outrage over the "outing" of an American intelligence asset? Would we not have heard demands for impeachment if President Clinton had done this? Our laws are not supposed to be about politics and Mr. Libby's punishment was well within federal guidelines, yet he will do no time in jail and will very likely see no punishment at all. A soldier or sailor committing the exact same crime could face the death penalty according to the U.C.M.J. (Uniform Code of Military Justice)While I do not advocate the death penalty for Mr. Libby I do believe that Congress should look into this egregious abuse of executive power and should answer Mr. Cox and determine by what right a CIA operative was uncovered and why the people responsible are not rotting in jail.
