Commutation of Libby’s Sentence: Troubling on Many Levels (Sen. Robert Menendez)

by N.J. Dem. Sen. Robert Menendez - 07/05/07 10:26 AM ET

President Bush’s decision is doubly concerning. It disregards the need for justice to be served in the case of a CIA operative being outed. More broadly, the White House has, in essence, reaffirmed its decision to use faulty information to go to war in Iraq, which is at the heart of this case and is the bigger story at play here. One would have to wonder if Lewis Libby didn’t know all along that he was going to get a pardon or have his sentence commuted.
