Commutations usually come during one's time being served, not before.

Dubya felt the sentence was too harsh and pulled the commutation
card. Wonder where Cheney, the Prince of Darkness, fit into this one?
.... I stand corrected, Good Uncle.....IT'S STILL WRONG. OK, I'm done.

Just an FYI jwilburn, WagnerX5, Eric and the rest of you who keep insisting that "Scooter" Outed Valerie Plame.

Fact is he did nothing of the sort nor was he accused or convicted of being the source of the leak.

That was Jack Abramoff.

He was convicted of obstruction and lying to investigators.

That makes what Sandy Burglar did at the National Archives much worse of an offense in my opinion. Strange thing I did not hear much from the side of the Democrats condemning his underpants file cabinet incident.

Fact is he LIED during a federal investigation. Try being one of the covert agents that had to deal with identities getting out and then have the opinion of "what is worse".

"Um, I'll take a tax evader any day over someone who gave away a covert CIA name. Maybe people don't truly understand what it means to give out a covert name. SO many lives are endangered by that act".

That is not what you said here. Saying it enough times does not make it true. You'd be surprised how many on the left actually think he was responsible for leaking her name to the press.

Political opinions are one thing but political opinions based on falsehoods are yet another.

WTF? Um, both my posts agreed with one another. You're rambling at this point....I don't care about the political ties, I care about money vs lives on this one.

Hey Head there is a somewhat of a difference between lying about having your intern swab your knob and lying about outing the identity of a CIA operative which could have national security implications not to mention a threat to her life. Libby should be in jail nuff said.

Sadly, you're wrong on both counts.
