Because it wasn't a crime, dunce.
though maybe Libby's obstruction of the investigation had something to do with it.
Wrong again. They found out who it was days after the investigation began.
You have no clue what you're talking about.

Illiterate moron-
Did they hand out an indictment for leaking Plame's name and identity?
They didn't? Hmmm...wonder why. Maybe it wasn't a crime after all.

That's simple-- because there was no political mileage to be had from indicting him.

I instinctively speculate that this woman, compelled by her own vanity and in order to impress one or two people, may herself have let on that she was a CIA agent; and then tried to cover up her indiscretion by blaming the government.

"Within minutes of the Libby announcement, the same Republican commentators who fulminated when Paris Hilton got a few days knocked off her time in a county lockup were parroting Mr. Bush’s contention that a fine, probation and reputation damage were 'harsh punishment' enough for Mr. Libby.
"Presidents have the power to grant clemency and pardons. But in this case, Mr. Bush did not sound like a leader making tough decisions about justice. He sounded like a man worried about what a former loyalist might say when actually staring into a prison cell."
The [Washington] Post, which had often mocked the court case, declares today: "We agree that a pardon would have been inappropriate and that the prison sentence of 30 months was excessive. But reducing the sentence to no prison time at all, as Mr. Bush did -- to probation and a large fine -- is not defensible. ... Mr. Bush, while claiming to 'respect the jury's verdict,' failed to explain why he moved from 'excessive' to zero.
"It's true that the felony conviction that remains in place, the $250,000 fine and the reputational damage are far from trivial. But so is lying to a grand jury. To commute the entire prison sentence sends the wrong message about the seriousness of that offense."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "President Bush's commutation of a pal's prison sentence counts as a most shocking act of disrespect for the U.S. justice system. It's the latest sign of the huge repairs to American concepts of the rule of law that await the next president."
The Denver Post found that "such big-footing of other branches of government is not unprecedented with this administration. The president's abuse of signing statements show his disrespect for Congress' power to make law. His insistence that terror detainees at Guantanamo Bay be denied Habeas Corpus rights mocks legal tradition. It's a shame that his actions in the Libby affair will add to that list. Libby should be held accountable for his crimes."
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's editorial declares that "mostly this commutation fails on the most basic premise. There was no miscarriage of justice in Libby's conviction or his sentence. The trial amply demonstrated that he stonewalled. Like President Clinton's 11th-hour pardons of an ill-deserving few, this commutation is a travesty."
New York's Daily News: "However misbegotten was the probe by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, the fact is that Libby did commit a federal crime and the fact is also that he was convicted in a court of law. Thankfully, Bush did not pardon Libby outright, but time in the slammer was in order. Sixty days, say, wouldn't have hurt the justice system a bit."
Chicago Tribune believes that "in nixing the prison term, Bush sent a terrible message to citizens and to government officials who are expected to serve the public with integrity. The way for a president to discourage the breaking of federal laws is by letting fairly rendered consequences play out, however uncomfortably for everyone involved. The message to a Scooter Libby ought to be the same as it is for other convicts: You do the crime, you do the time."
The Arizona Republic: "We thought Scooter Libby was going through the criminal justice system. Just like anyone else. Then, President Bush whipped out a get-out-of-jail-free card. This is the wrong game to play on a very public stage."
San Jose Mercury News: "Other presidents have doled out pardons and the like, usually on the way out of office. It's never pretty. But few have placed themselves above the law as Bush, Cheney and friends repeatedly have done by trampling civil liberties and denying due process. Chalk up another point for freedom. Scooter's, at least."
The Sacramento Bee: President Bush, a recent story in the Washington Post tells us, is obsessed with the question of how history will view him. He has done himself no favors on that count by commuting the prison term of I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby."

You really are a pompous self-righteous ass. Of course I know that they did not hand out an indictment for the crime itself. The investigation never went that far - it does not mean that no crime was committed.
I know your Rovian talking points don't cover those details, and that you are fixated on the "over-zealous prosecutor gone mad" angle - but do know this:
a) Plame was covert. This has been proven. Her outing jeapordized our national security, and she was outed because her husband had the audacity to challenge one of the principle fabricated reasons Dick Cheney and the Office of Special Plans cooked up for this war.
b) This action demonstrates to the American people without a doubt that Republicans like yourself are hypocrites. You are only for law and order if it fits in with your ideological, paraoid and warmongering outlook.

thanks for the long list of Leftards sounding off on the Liddy pardon. I'm sure that's very persuasive to you.

Richard Armitage had already admitted outing her. There was nothing left to investigate, you fucking twit.

If you think the media is part of some vast left wing conspiracy then you belong in a rubber room. And that was just a sampling. I checked just now and there are a whole lot more of them.
So my dogmatic friend, are you saying that Armitage should have been charged?
If a Republican-appointed prosecutor, a Republican appointed judge and a Grand Jury all unanimously thought Libby guilty of a serious crime (obstruction of justice) - why do you support his get out of jail free card?
Posted by: Bo at July 03, 2007 01:15 PM (euN4c)
Sullivan (remember him - the CONSERVATIVE Times columnist and blogger) has been running some excellent blogging on this subject today.
"One aspect of the commutation of Libby's sentence has been overlooked. Libby knows a very great deal about the war crimes of the president and vice-president and even more about the vagaries of the use of WMD intelligence before the war. By commuting his sentence, Bush is obviously trying to ensure that Libby doesn't talk. He is making sure that there's no pressure on Libby to cop a plea and give Fitzgerald more evidence of malfeasance in the White House. A reader explains:
The commutation of this felon's sentence was not a result of arrogance or indifference to the notion of accountability. It was motivated by fear. Libby knows it all, and I mean the whole story. He could expose Bush, Chaney and Rumsfeld as war criminals, and destroy the careers of dozens of others in a matter of minutes. You can be sure that he was told at the outset that he would never see the inside of a jail. The court ruling that packed him off to the slammer immediately triggered the inevitable. It was just a matter of timing.
Another way of seeing this is: obstruction of justice. But, hey, he's the king. According to Addington and Cheney, the president is the justice system."
"I don't believe my role is to replace the verdict of a jury with my own," - George W. Bush on why he signed death warrants for 152 inmates as governor of Texas.
The quote is from his own book, "A Charge To Keep." I think that's a debate-ender, isn't it?

Armitage was the leaker, and wasn't indicted for leaking. There was no crime. Do you need it in another language? Farsi, perhaps?
NO INDICTMENT FOR LEAKING = NO CRIME COMMITTED. End of story.
Beat your head into a wall - it doesn't change the facts, jackass.

I don't cry - I just get angry. I get angry because people like you exist. People who whitewash treason, obfuscate, and bit by bit help destroy the principles on which this nation was founded. You are a complete disgrace to all the great Republicans that helped forge a legal system that was not supposed to show favouratism. Everyone was supposed to be equal before the law.
Scooter obstructed the investigation and lied to the Grand Jury. You don't seem to appreciate the seriousness of the crime.
Scooter did so to protect Cheney and Bush - one of them gave the order to leak classified information.
B already pointed out to you that Fitzgerald said he knew nothing about Armistage outing Plame - this did not come out in the course of his investigation.
You arguements have nothing to stand on. Zero.
Quit while you're behind.

You are another idiot who does not know what he is talking about. You're simply repeating government sponsored lies and propaganda.
And if you trust the government 1000%, blindly accept their spin, then you too are a disgrace to Republican values. Especially now / today after all the scandals that have plagued THIS administration, THIS leadership, THIS band of criminals.
The LEFT latched on to this scandal because it is so blatant and obvious. It is linked to all the cooked intelligence used to con this nation into war. It also reveals the total hypocricy of the Bush administration - perfectly. So why wouldn't they latch on to it? Even a broken clock is right at least twice a day.
Posted by: Bo at July 03, 2007 01:59 PM (euN4c)
So lets send Scooter to prison while he appeals his convivtion for a non-crime, and when her finally gets exhonerated he will have already served half his unjust sentence? HOW EXACTLY IS THAT SUPPOSSED TO BE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW???
Give it up. Persecuting Libby (persecuting) is a crime in itself, and you whine about 'equal'?! it is grossly unequal to aim the resources of a partisan witch-hunt at a n innocent man, then crow when he is butchered for no good reason!

Your comments are getting more and more insane.
Unjust sentence???? His crime was obstruction of justice and lying to a Grand Jury. He was tried by a (Republican) judge overseeing an impartial group of 12 men and women. The sentence was appropriate given the seriousness of the crime - or are you saying lying to a Grand Jury is not a serious matter?
Oh and by the way, Plame was considered the leading expert on Iran's nuclear file - despite the popular opinion in wingnut-land that she had some obscure and insignificant deskjob.

Why would Fitzgerald want to "trash" Scooter? Simply for the hell of it? Is that how things appear to you?
Scooter is no victim. He is a willing accomplice to a crime and The Boss just took care of his loyal servant.
I don't see Libby falling on hard times...standing in line at the soup kitchen.....sorry.

And I will always be welcome on the neocon lecture circuit - treated as an innocent victim of a partisan witch hunt.
How am I doing in my projection so far???
But you know Mike, this is exactly the kind of mafia government Americans need to bring to an end - especially given the way they have managed the Iraq file. I mean if things had gone well in Operation Iraqui Freedom.......if they had planned and executed it with due dilligence and competence, not turned us into an international laughing stock, not reduced our reputation to the level previously occupied by the USSR, then I might be pursuaded to let some of this stuff slide a bit. But the fact of the matter is I believe it is our duty (and the only way to turn this thing around) is to cannibilize the neocons and take away the keys from Bush. Scooter stood in the way from making that happen - so I can have absolutely no sympathy for the guy.
Here's another gem from Sullivan's website which is in line with my postion:
The commutation of Libby's sentence was a Machiavellian move meant to send a message to people who work for the Administration. The message from the President and the Vice President is "we will protect the loyal".
The script of this presidency is more like the Sopranos than the West Wing. Like the mafia, loyalty is critical to the survival of this Administration. Just like the mafia, Cheney and Bush often ask Administration officials to operate outside the law, or at the very least, in the gray area and without Congressional or judicial approval. If Libby were sent to jail, this could have a devastating effect on the loyalty that Administration officials show to Bush and Cheney. The people in the Administration would start to worry more about their own skin and less about pleasing their bosses.
During the next 18 months of the Bush presidency the Democratic Congress will issue subpoenas to Administration officials on any number of scandals emanating from the White House, some known (Iraq and the firing of the prosecutors) and some still unknown.
Any Administration official who is required to testify in Congress and is aware of wrong-doing on the part of the White House will be worried that they could end up in jail like Scooter if they are not hyper-vigilant about the truth. If Scooter went to jail these potential Administration witnesses in future Congressional hearings would be less likely to be "team players" for the White House. The importance of the Libby pardon is that it lets these potential Administration witnesses know that the President will protect them and nobody else will. (See the press and the Democrats howling for Scooter's head.) This will help Bush and Cheney keep a unified front against a hostile Congress.
For those who say Bush had a principled reason for granting clemency... Fogetaboutit. This is all about self preservation.

It was elevated to a crime when he lied about it, which only happened because he couldn't just come forward and say 'hey, I screwed up, and I'm sorry. I'd like to fix my mariage without a lot of outside scrutiny now, so if you will let me, I'll try not to screw up my presidency in the meantime. thanks.'
He chose to cover up his weakness, and lie instead of owning up, and making amends. And yes, his ability to honor his marriage commitment reflects on his ability to honor ALL his other commitments, so it was important for us to know about. And we as a society should have been willing to let him come clean and try to do the right thing.
For Bush, I am sure there are a lot of manuverings that go on. I'm sure there is about the same cronyism as in every other administration we have ever had, but the matter is, Libby was set up by the left, and Bush really can't protect him without gfetting mauled by the harpies of the left, so he has done as little as possible to help Libby. Thats how it works. All the politicos defend thier loyal, where they can. Libby is isolated, vulnerable, and easily victimized by the left, and the media. He still didn't do anything wrong.
USA, all the way!
Posted by: Michael Weaver at July 03, 2007 03:52 PM (2OHpj)
I love this new "condition" that gets thrown against anyone who has the audacity to point out one of Bush's failures. "Oh, you must blame Bush for the corns on your feet" - Non sequitur
The evidence that Bush values loyalty over brains or competence is overwhelming. If I had a free day to research and felt it would do some good, I'd cite all the references from Harriet Miers on down. But I don't feel like wasting my time.
Suffice it to say that as far as an explaination for yesterday's travesty goes, given we know that Bush did not consult very widely prior to making his decision (see today's Washington Post, press conference with Tony Snowjob), it explains a lot.
Posted by: Bo at July 03, 2007 04:52 PM (euN4c)
That's your problem bo, using other peoples opinions is not "doing research". But since you do not want to waste your time, it's convenient to repeat what other people are thinking.

If they cared a whit about the facts of the case, they'd be outraged, OUTRAGED that Dick Armitage admitted to leaking the name and identity, and was not indicted, charged, indicated as an unindicted conspirator or co-conspirator, etc.
Just let it sink in to these Democrat fanboys that they have no clue what they're talking about, and laugh at them desperately trying to matter.

I have criticized Bush, and not had that thrown at me. Maybe that is because I don't do so by simply acccepting someones talking points without checking them. Oh yes, I suppose I do onced in a while, but I always try to corect my mistakes when I make them. BDS is the weaponization of any minor information, true or not, to attack the curent President, and his allies. In light of the full scale assault on this President, it is nearly impossible to have a rational discussion about his actual mistakes. In point of fact, it is undesirable to try an honest discourse about what may be wrong with Bush's policies, because it is like blood in the water for the irrational left. All thier idiot conspiracies are validated, and real exchange of ideas comes to a screeching halt. You can catch BDS anbd not even know it. I may not think much of Bush, but there isn't a Democrat running I'd put in office instead of him. if you are given a series of bad choices, choose the lesser evil.

This is not a rational argument. Bush does not have a "special prosecutor" check-mating him does he? The closest he comes to Clinton is Fitzgerald - who was trying to get at the truth when Scooter (yes, poor innocent Scooter) kicked sand in his eyes.
You and yours should get some psychiatric couselling regarding Clinton. Despite the fact that his wife is in the race, I don't see how you can compare his administration with the den of thieves that occupies power today.
