So what are your views on this?
I thought it was inevitable because I have always believed that Cheney
was behind the whole debacle and he would have promised a pardon to
Libby in exchange for Libby keeping his mouth shut. So Bush lets Libby
off the hook for being a good criminal conspirator and other workers in
the Executive Branch know that they can violate the law for their bosses
with impunity.
I should add that this wasn't quite a pardon because Libby still owes a
$250,000 fine and is on probation. But when the boss you were lying for
made $10 million in the past two years...

...a $250,000 fine isn't hard to deal with. Compare Cheney's income with
that of recent US Presidents. He's the rich kid on the block.
