President Bush commuted the prison term of former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, facing 30 months in prison after a federal court convicted him of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to investigators. Bush has only commuted the jail term which means that the conviction remains on Libby’s record and he must still pay a $250,000 fine. Pffft, why not just do the full pardon? I mean, this implies he condones criminal behaviour in his administration, why not confirm it?

Technically, it does confirm it, but then, I guess a little bit of so-called “plausible” deniability is enough for them.
