Who Else Should Get Out Of Jail Free?

Today the White House announced that President Bush has commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby; thus, Libby will not serve any time in prison following his felony convictions on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.

Well, that raises an interesting question -- who else, according to Mr. Bush's standards of justice, should get a get-out-of-jail-free card? I mean, if someone can leak classified information...participate in "outing" a covert CIA operative...and then lie to investigators about it...who else might be deserving of a presidential commutation?

Leonard Peltier? Ehren Watada? Who would YOU noninate for a pardon or commutation?

(Lest we forget, the conservatives impeached a sitting American president for perjury and obstruction of justice, having to do with a stained blue dress and a failed real estate deal. Now, we have a President openly condoning and rewarding perjury and obstruction of justice when it comes to our national security and the identity of a covert operative. The sheer hypocrisy is hard to believe.)
