Pardon Scooter Libby

[Exsubmariner]

I think this is a foregone conclusion, provided the Prosecuter can get a conviction.

Definately looking forward to the Executive Privlege battle getting Cheney to testify.

I say he should be pardoned so he can out more Democrat CIA political operatives. Much the same way as Mack Rich was pardoned by Clinton so he could be free to make more illegal oil deals with embargoed countries [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img].

Very pleased with the timing the Bush Administration had with picking Alito to overshadow the indictment. Nice. Bet they had him fingered before Miers withdrew.

It would have been nicer still if they had just nomintated him in the first place.

Its a shame posner can't get on the court though. He's fascinating.

Bush should pardon him for writing this book. Scooter is not only an accused liar he is also a sicko.
*******************************
It took Libby more than twenty years to write “The Apprentice,” which is set in a remote Japanese province in the winter of 1903.

Libby does not shy from the scatological. The narrative makes generous mention of lice, snot, drunkenness, bad breath, torture, urine, “turds,” armpits, arm hair, neck hair, pubic hair, pus, boils, and blood (regular and menstrual). One passage goes, “At length he walked around to the deer’s head and, reaching into his pants, struggled for a moment and then pulled out his penis. He began to piss in the snow just in front of the deer’s nostrils.”

When it comes to depicting scenes of romance, however, Libby can evoke a sort of musty sweetness; while one critic deemed “The Apprentice” “reminiscent of Rembrandt,” certain passages can better be described as reminiscent of Penthouse Forum. There is, for example, Yukiko’s seduction of the inexperienced apprentice:

He could feel her heart beneath his hands. He moved his hands slowly lower still and she arched her back to help him and her lower leg came against his. He held her breasts in his hands. Oddly, he thought, the lower one might be larger. . . . One of her breasts now hung loosely in his hand near his face and he knew not how best to touch her.

At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest.

Libby was Marc Rich's lawyer so he knows something about the pardon process!

Personally, I hope he rooms with a big dude named Bubba who hasn't seen a woman in twenty years. Now that will give Libby something to write about...

This Libby episode shows (as if this needed to be shown again) that the neo-con ideology is a mushy contraption that easily reduces to Us-versus-Them, with the two sides being at any time whatever the chief wants them to be!

Witness the outing of a CIA operative. What was once considered by the Right as high treason if performed by the likes of Philip Agee or Daniel Ellsberg (look 'em up, kids), is now accepted as a completely legitimate tactic if performed by guys like Karl Rove.

Or witness how the whole economy game is played by the current administration: Runaway spending is no longer "a bad thing"! Why, it all depends on who does the spending. If it's by a Republican, it must be good -- and damn the Friedmans.


Recall the Iran-contra scandal. You had a whole portion of the American executive administration working to supply with guns a regime that had been officially characterized as "renegade" and "terrorist-helping". In exchange for supplying the Iranians (illegally) with arms which were destined originally (and illegally) for the Nicaraguan Contras, the neo-con administration of Reagan "hoped" to have some American hostages in Lebanon released through the ...goodwill and assistance of Tehran. If a liberal would've proposed such a scheme, he would've been arrested.

Bush43 does NOT pardon Libby. End-of-Story. I doubt Libby even gets convicted.

If convicted (which is VERY doubtful), Libby gets 24 months max. End-of-story. The 30 year prison sentence buzz in the press is 100% nonsense that the press (and prosecutor) use to sex up the story.
