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

[Steven]

I posted more info later.
1. Libby was not charged with the leaking. The guy, Armitage, who leaked 
was never charged.
2. It was a generality. How about the woman that shot her husband, a 
minister. I think she got off with time served.  Rapists and molesters 
get quite too lenient sentences too.
3. She did time for the cover up, not the crime. I find it difficult to 
understand how you can do time for not helping the investigation, yet 
the crime of stock manipulation (or whatever they called it) was 
unpunished. I would think that they should have held to the charges as 
well or dropped them all.

Libby to do time for lying? SOP for government officials. Why single him 
  out? Should we have put Cochran in jail for "if it doesn't fit, you 
must acquit."
