No matter what you think of the Libby thing, you have to read Cato here and here on the thousands of people out there who deserve clemency and have not received it — miscarriages of justice far worse than a guy getting a nasty jail sentence in line with the Administration’s own sentencing guidelines just because he lied and obfuscating about the outing of a CIA agent.

I still don’t think the Libby supporters understand why everyone is so outraged over this. These idiots have been strict law and order types, demanding the book be thrown at criminals, that minimum sentencing be upheld, pardons denied, parol abolished.

Except when it comes to their political buddy.
