Did bush go far enough in scooter...?
he getting flak no matter which way he decided.
Answer:
Commuting the sentence is good. This way he's convicted just like BJ Clinton and suffers no ramifications just like BJ Clinton. Remember they both committed perjury - in fact BJ's was to a judge under oath and Libby was to investigators.
He should have pardoned him, and appointed a special prosecutor to determine why Patrick Fitzgerald didn't dismiss the Grand Jury when he learned that no crime was committed, and that the "leak" did not originate from the White House. He knew both before he ever questioned Libby.
Loyalty to their party. Can't let a good man down!
Mr Libby isn't going to jail, it is rumored that his $250,000 fine will be paid by supporters, he has enough friends in high places to offer him some sort of work, if he is as upstanding as he is being made out to be (and I have no reason to doubt that) probation will not be too onerous. In short his punishment is minimal. I think a pardon would have been one step too far.
This is a neat PR trick.
