White House won't rule out Libby pardon

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.

"He thought any jail time was excessive. He did not see fit to have Scooter Libby taken to jail," Snow said.

Now isn't this the behavior of a dictator?

Doesn't a dictator decide the appropriate punishment for a crime?

Isn't that what Bush just did?

There is no judicial system. Just whatever Cheney...oops, I mean Bush, decides is appropriate.

Stay pissed off here.
