White House won't rule out Libby pardon  —  WASHINGTON - The White House on Tuesday declined to rule out the possibility of an eventual pardon for former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.  But spokesman Tony Snow said, for now, President Bush is satisfied with his decision to commute Libby's 2 1/2-year prison sentence.

White House:
Press Briefing by Tony Snow  —  MR. SNOW: Good morning.  Good to see you all.  Couple of notes, first on the President's day.  The President had his normal briefings in the morning.  At 10:30 a.m. he'll have a visit with wounded military personnel at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Alan Dershowitz / The Huffington Post:
Playing Politics with Libby  —  The outcry against President Bush's decision to commute Scooter Libby's sentence is misplaced.  President Bush acted hours after the U.S. Court of Appeals denied Libby bail pending appeal.  That judicial decision was entirely political.

Clinton slams Bush over Libby maneuver  —  KEOKUK, Iowa - Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton drew a distinction between President Bush's decision to commute the sentence of White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby — which she has harshly criticized — and her husband's 140 pardons in his closing hours in office.
Atrios / Eschaton:
Rich  —  Inevitably, the subject of Marc Rich comes up every time presidential pardons come up.  Without going into all of the issues, can we just remind the world that... Marc Rich's lawyer was Scooter Libby.
Guardian:
Just another obstruction of justice  —  There are lots of unanswered questions surrounding the Valerie Plame saga, but Scooter Libby's commutation ensures they won't be answered.  —  On June 9, 2003, just one day after his national security advisor, Condoleezza Rice, got beaten …
