Terrific reporting by Stephen Hayes. Cheney speaks up for Libby. Good for Cheney. I had gotten the strong impression that Cheney really wanted Libby pardoned but fell constrained from saying so in public (and was correct to feel so constrained). Now he speaks up, like the stand-up guy he is. I continue to wish that Cheney had been president all these years, not Bush. Bush’s failure to pardon was utterly dishonorable.
