I don't care what Bill Kristol says, George, DON'T PARDON LIBBY

george, you're a miserable, rotten, s.o.b., and damn near everybody knows it, even bill kristol... your polls are in the toilet - 29% according to pew - and you've turned about as radioactive as a president can get... you may think you've got nothing to lose by pardoning scooter, but i beg to differ... yes, as outrage has piled on outrage, i've thought that, certainly, THIS ONE would be the straw, and i've been repeatedly proven wrong... but, george, might i remind you that there are such things called odds, and even YOU aren't immune... this one may be it, george... think about it...

President Bush: Don't Pardon Scooter Libby

Scooter Libby, former Assistant to the President and Vice Presidential Chief of Staff, has just been sentenced to 30 months in jail for obstruction of justice and perjury during the investigation of who revealed the identity of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame. Libby disclosed during the trial that he was acting on the orders of "his superiors." Others in the White House may still face indictments.

President Bush is probably considering pardoning Libby, just as his father did more than a decade ago for six high-level officials who broke the law in providing arms to Iran and the Nicaraguan contras.

This isn't a failed real estate deal, or a stained blue dress -- this is the national security of the United States. Valerie Plame was a covert agent working to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Her husband, Joe Wilson, tried to expose the administration's lies in rushing us into the invasion of Iraq; in petty retribution for his efforts, Bush administration officials leaked his wife's identity to the press.

The former President Bush called those who reveal the names of covert operatives "the most insidious of traitors." Regrettably, we cannot be sure that justice will be served in this case. His son, President G.W. Bush, has the unilateral power to pardon Scooter Libby, Karl Rove and anyone else involved in leaking Plame's identity.

Sign this petition and add your name to the list of Americans calling on President Bush to publicly renounce the use of his presidential pardon for Scooter Libby. Then, forward the petition link on to some friends -- let's ALL tell the President that his "get out of jail free" card should NOT be used in cases of endangering national security.
