>I think the commutation served a purpose NOW while the full pardon comes on 1/19/09. Because he didn't get a full pardon, it leaves Libby's appeal in place. And that allows him the ability to plead the fifth should he be called to testify in Wilson's civil suit, or if the federal prosecutor wants to ask him questions about other people. Not that that means much based on his past testimony. Bill Kristol was impressed: "So I regard this as an extremely clever Machiavellian move by the president."

You're accusing Bush of cleverness? Well now. That's one I haven't heard before. ;)
