According to Truthout.org Libby's 30 month sentence was the minimum sentence possible (!) according to sentencing guidelines prepared by John Ashcroft's justice dept. in 2003 -- guidelines which Bush had been advocating as soon as he got into office. In other words, Scooter got that big 30-month wump on his ass from a paddle designed, built and delivered by George Bush himself!
So what do we learn? Bush not only doesn't respect the rule of law -- he doesn't even respect his own rules.
Ladies and gentlemen, what we're witnessing here is good ol' fashioned Playground Politics: "They're my rules, so I can break 'em if I want to!"
I think George needs a time out, indefinitely.
