Pardons are an EXECUTIVE privelige, not just presedential. Govenors have the power to pardon for state felons. Look, the main thrust of those who are against clemency for Libby is that he was found guilty and that the President is playing on favorites by commuting the system. Those that are for the commutation feel that Libby was charged with obstruction and perjury when there isn't truly a case against Libby, that he was caught up in the middle of a witch-hunt. He was charged with a "process crime." The fact that there are others that can and should be brought to task on the original case which was the leaking of a covert CIA operative's name is another matter entirely. On a side note, please do me the favor of keeping names straight. Calling Libby "Fibby" or any other minaming does nohing to further the point of this debate other than directly identify the stance you take and the level of respect you have for anyone that is standing opposite you in this debate. I enjoy our little sparrings on issues like this but find it personally insulting when my counterparts are reduced to name-calling to help make thier point. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
