Bush commutes Libby sentence

Quote:No, Libby was convicted of lying to a grand jury, making false statements to the FBI, and obstructing a probe into the leak of Valerie Plame's identity. The things he lied about were central to what the FBI was investigating. It was stupid of Libby to commit perjury, but this was not a 'fishing' mission.
And, as it turns out, it is two reporters word versus his what is the truth. My comment was that all the others who lied to the grand jury, and the people who actually leaked her identity suffer no consequences. If we are going to start convicting politicians of lying, we will need to build some more prisons in the Virginia area. Also consider that the investigation into the leak of Plame's identity published by Novak went on for 3 years after the person responsible confessed to the act. Similar to all the past Special Prosecutors and Independent Counsels thus far, if you don't get the original target then you still need a pound of flesh to justify your existence. You're right though, if Scooter lied to the investigators and the grand jury it was wrong. However, he's not the only one who did in this case. Should we go get them all and imprison them?

Here is Don Imus's take on Tim Russert's veracity. Maybe we need more investigation into who are the bigger liars, reporters or politicians.
