Certainly if W allowed that crooked SOB Berger to run around free its the least he could do for the GOP.
Thank you President Bush.
It feels good to agree with something you’ve done, for a change!!
My guess is that Libby receives a full pardon right before Bush leaves office.
Good news for the Libby family.
GREAT NEWS!!!
YEP lets get him a job at FOX or give him his own radio show...that’d be sweeeet...

Damn straight, Mr. President. That’s a fine start to a new week, month and quarter.

Anyone have an address to help pay the fine?
Yes!

Good news bump! Can’t wait for the Dems and Chrissy Matthews to wet their pants.
As long as the border agents are serving hard time, then I do not agree with this commutation.
Jeffrey Toobin, on CNN, seems deeply saddened by this move.
He should have pardoned him though...
commutation of sentence: In criminal law, reduction of a sentence for a criminal act by action of the executive head of the government. Like pardon pardon, in law, exemption from punishment for a criminal conviction granted by the grace of the executive of a government. Commutation of sentence is a matter of grace, not of right; it is distinguished from pardon, however, in that the conviction of crime is not nullified. The commutation, hence, may be granted on condition that the criminal observe certain restrictions for the balance of his original sentence. Many states have statutes providing for commutation of sentence as a reward for good conduct during imprisonment. Once earned, the commutation becomes a matter of right and may be enforced by court action.Perhaps this will allow the appeal to go on without jail time. At the end of the appeal process, the President could still pardon him and remove the convistion.
