Who is surprised? King George has just "commuted" the sentence of Scooter Libby.
Did anyone really believe that the Bush Crime Family would allow him to go to prison. There is no honor in this criminal cohort. Dick Cheney refuses to be accountable, even to the president; appointed members of the administration are chosen based on political loyalty and then prove incompetent; Alberto Gonzales has no problem torturing people; no one cares about the lose of habeas corpus, a legal heritage wrested from King Henry II in twelfth century England.
Doesn't "outing" a covert agent of the CIA for political purposes rise to the level of treason? Isn't lying and perjury about that act a major felony? Don't two counts of perjury, one count of obstruction of justice in a grand jury investigation, and one count of making false statements to federal investigators deserve more jail time than Paris Hilton spent in jail?
There is no honor in this administration. And my young friend is supposed to learn about honor, how?
What shall I now tell him?
