Is the use of the word "pardon" an intentional lie on Merediths' part? Or is it her ignorance that is on display here? I would be willing to bet it is both.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

Of all the crimes committed by this administration on a daily basis the Wilson/Plame Case is the worst.

We know someone within the White House ordered Plame's name leaked for no other reason than petty political revenge. The farce of an argument that this was just casual inner talk that slipped out is insulting to any reasonable person's intelligence. The Straw-man Armitage is also just that. Who gave him Plame's name? Why did he know? Plame was covert (and please stop with the she was NOT covert crap! The head of the CIA in testimony before congress in public said she was) and information on her was on a need to know basis. Why was her name being flung around like an old recipe? At best they are guilty of negligence and endangering National Security, at worst, High Treason.

One of our own, turned out during a time of war. One would think that there are some crimes not even the most partisan would not be able to stomach, but apparently there no sewer vile enough for this White House to crawl through or for their minions to follow.

Libby, after being found guilty of lying to protect these traitors is now pardoned by the very man he has the goods on and STILL there are people that see nothing wrong with this.

Sorry a bit long but ...

Too bad the Libranos do not spend all that energy checking these fine liberals for something a little sticky!

Folks, this is only the BEGINNING of the cretins pardoned by Slick
Willy, and a majority of them involve bank and wire fraud, cocaine
charges, stolen vehicles, using explosive devices, and on and on and
on. So please, just humor me here liberals. What in this list comes
even CLOSE to what Scooter Libby was convicted of? You guys are so
blinded by your hatred for Bush, you cannot see the horizon for the
forest that is the evil anti-christ you think is President Bush. Guess
your hero, Bill Clinton, just helped out some poor mis-guided soles who
really made innocent mistakes in their lives. Yeah, right.

Thank you Msunderestimated!

The Liberals have become what they hate.

Meredith more likely mispoke than intentionally misled viewers when she said pardon rather than commutation.

I am disgusted by the moral relativism displayed by the Republican Presidential candidates and my fellow citizens who don't see anything wrong with commuting Lewis Libby's sentence.

He lied to a grand jury, most likely in an attempt to cover for his boss Dick Cheney. He was found guilty of committing perjury and he should have served his sentence.

So many arguements have been put forth about pardons given out by other presidents. Without addressing each specific pardon and their relationship to the President and his administration one cannot give an honest assessment about the ethics of all those pardons.

I have no doubt that there have been some highly unethical pardons by past Presidents which if we were in a just world would have gotten them impeached.

But this commutation of a member of the President's administration is particularly unethical. From the start Libby knew that if he just kept his mouth shut and did not implicate his boss or Bush that he would have his sentence commuted or be pardoned.

The childish, Clinton pardoned person X, in no way justifies or legitimizes the commuting of Libby.

The Republican party tries to portray itself as the party of ethics and respectability and with this commutation and the support of it by so many of the most die hard Republicans, shows that these supporters are completely devoid of ethics.

So often, democrats and republicans sacrifice their principles on freedoms, ethics, and the law, when their party "wins" but when we toss aside our principles to support our "team", we all lose. Its a shame so many are blind to that.
