dear president bush: burn in hell

[rone]

President Bush commuted the sentence of former aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Monday, sparing him from a 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case. [...] Bush's move came hours after a federal appeals panel ruled Libby could not delay his prison term in the CIA leak case.

This is second-hand, but "a pardon would mean that Libby was no longer exposed to criminal sanctions and thus had no Fifth Amendment privilege. As it stands he has a fine and probation at stake during the pendency of the appeal which insulates him (and Bush and Cheney) from having to answer questions before Congress."

How very... adroit of the President's legal team.
