From Raw Story:
In an interview Tuesday on Fox's Hannity & Colmes, potential presidential candidate Fred Thompson launched into a passionate defense of Scooter Libby.
"It's tragic," said Thompson of Libby's conviction. "What they were looking at didn't constitute a crime. Valerie Plame ... wasn't a covered person under the statute. ... Scooter Libby didn't leak her name. ... The Justice Department never should have appointed a special counsel ... Scooter Libby was working himself to exhaustion trying to protect his country. ...
They picked him out to bring the burden of this entire political witchhunt on him. ... The judge saw fit to go way beyond what his own probation officer recommended."
"Would you pardon him now," Thompson was asked. "I would, absolutely," he answered. "It's a gross injustice ... and it ought to be rectified."
And there you have it folks. Mighty Mouse Freddy Thompson would pardon the little soldier. And this person wants to run for President in 2008?

Oh, so we should all allow lying? Check out the Tuesday, May 29th posting of what a former high school government teacher wrote about the postcard dude's lying, and everyone else's lying in politics:
Statement by John Duerk
This is a great quote about lying:
"I simply don’t have any tolerance or respect for anyone – friend or official – who behaves in a deceptive manner; and nobody in this room should either."
I went to the link. The postcard dude is pathetic. He should be on that T.V. show: the world dumbest criminal! I ahve a feeling that the postcard dude will be gone from his job. Seems like the people are pretty P.O. with him.
