Scooter Libby
We should all be outraged. President Bush commuted Scooter Libby's prison sentence wiping away two and half years of jail time with the stroke of a pen.
President Bush ignored Libby’s felony conviction for lying to investigators, ignored the jury’s guilty verdict, and ignored the rule of law that governs our nation.
We expect more from our President. We expect honor and integrity, we expect moral leadership. We expect our President and his staff to be held to a higher standard.
But do we really? This is someone who has prisoners with no charges and no rights in Guantanamo, who listens to private calls from citizens at will. I have been criticized for comparing this administration to a Nazi state. What do you all think now?
This letter has not been edited.
Leonard, I have thought the same as you all along. Bush is a frigging idiot, and a crooked one at that.
Posted by Ron 2 on July 12, 2007 02:29 PMBush was quoted yesterday as saying that he knows that the leak about Plame's identity surely came from within his administration and then lamented that "if only someone had just come forward, we wouldn't have wasted had all these hours on the investigation along with it's cost".
This man is supposed to be president.
He took us to war against another country with tremendous convictions in his actions, yet sounds absolutely impotent when it comes to dealing with leaks coming from people who report to him.
His admission should serve notice, once and for all, of his complicity in this whole matter.
The man is pond scum.
