Some Talking Points on Bush's Commutation of Libby's Sentence

Watching the conversation on Libby unfold, here are some responses to the arguments right wingers seem to be putting forward:

A jury found him guilty of OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE and did not believe Libby just forgot.

Libby was prosecuted by a republican appointed prosecutor and sentenced by a republican appointed judge.

Bill Clinton was found innocent by the senate.

This was about national security-- the intentional outing of a CIA agent.

Libby was protecting Cheney and probably Rove, Bush's agent. Bush pardoned a man complicit in a crime he himself was implicated and suspected of being involved in.
