It would have been very satisfying for President Bush to have had pardoned Libby. Ben Stein aptly recalls the litany of the faults in the case.

There is however one reason for settling for a commutation at this time. I have to hope that Libby's appeals will vindicate him in time. And the best result of all would be the recognition by the courts that Fitzgerald's appointment was illegal. That would be worthy much.

And, there are at least 18 months left to pardon Libby if worse comes to worse.
