From Thinkprogress:
“Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger, Paul Wolfowitz, and John Bolton top the list of individuals who wrote a federal judge on behalf of former White House aide Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby, who will be sentenced today for lying to investigators and a federal grand jury examining the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity.”
On the following 30 pages you’ll find an assortment of letters from former colleagues and friends of Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff. The letters, which do not include a missive from Cheney himself, were filed this morning in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.. Included in the correspondence is a letter on former Cheney aide Mary Matalin’s stationery which is signed by her and husband James Carville, the Democratic strategist. Others writing on Libby’s behalf included Richard Myers, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Richard Perle, former Pentagon adviser; James Woolsey, ex-CIA director; Douglas Feith, former Under Secretary of Defense; Christopher Cox, ex-congressman and current Securities and Exchange Commission chairman; Leon Wieseltier, literary editor of The New Republic; Washington lawyer Leonard Garment; former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson; former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky; and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a National Institutes of Health official.
