[Grovenet] Bush commutes Libby prison sentence - Yahoo! News

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

That assumes one agrees with 6 months for murder.

I don't.

Martha Stewart's crime (and yes, she is a criminal) didn't compromise the
government any more than President Clinton's interest in cigars as sex toys.
Those in in positions of power in government or who directly serve those in
power need to face more egregious penalties if they fail in a way that
compromises our national interests than if the dog catcher in Podunk drives
by a pooch wandering along the road.

Leaking her name was not a crime. The guy who did it had nothing to do 
with Libby.
Lets see. Clinton got disbarred for lying. 2.5 years in the slammer for 
lying is a bit much when you see a murderer get 6 months.
 From what I caught, the judgment stands. Only the time in jail is lifted. I
felt sorry for Martha Stuart too. But I share your distaste of the BS going
on in Washington.
