No to a Libby Pardon

I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the former Assistant to President Bush and Chief of Staff of Vice President Cheney, has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for perjury and obstruction of justice. (I wrote about the case in general here.) The Special Counsel in this case has stated his belief that Libby’s actions were to protect those “higher up the food chain” in the administration and that he will continue to dig for the truth. For this and other reasons, the pressure on the President to pardon Libby will be great. Justice will most certainly not be served by such a pardon. You can make your voice heard in opposition to a pardon using the Working Assets form that can be found here.
