The commutation posed a conflict of interest for this president. He commuted Libby's sentence to save himself and Cheney from possible prosecution. Libby was one of 7 people who outed a covert CIA agent to get back at her husband a vocal critic of the war who challenged the president's false assertion that Saddam tried to buy yellow cake uranium from Niger. Wilson was right because 16 words were later remove from Bush's State of Union address in the Congressional record. They were removed because Bush knew he was lying. Clinton never pardoned or commuted the sentence of anyone who could have incriminated him if they had gone to jail. Libby is a convicted felon who deserves to serve his punishment for 30 months.

I really don't believe there are only 13% of us who agree with that. These polls only actually poll 1000 people. That is hardly 300,000,000 as would be needed.
