The Bush Administration's reckless contempt for the rule of law has broken new ground. President Bush wiped away a prison sentence for his old friend and convicted perjurer Scooter Libby.
Despite Libby's conviction by a jury of his peers for lying to the FBI and obstructing justice, Dick Cheney called Scooter Libby "one of the most capable and talented individuals" he has ever known.
President Bush went even farther - by giving his friend Scooter Libby a "get out of jail free card" for his crimes!
Libby is the highest-ranking White House official convicted in a federal-level government scandal in two decades. And thanks to the President's commutation, he won't have to serve any jail time.
The Bush Administration must be held accountable when they try to twist the law to protect one of their own.
Tell President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to stop abusing their power!
No more "get out of jail free cards!"
Dear President Bush and Vice President Cheney,
The Bush Administration's reckless contempt for the rule of law has broken new ground.
Despite Scooter Libby's conviction by a jury of his peers for lying to the FBI and obstructing justice, you gave your friend Scooter a "get out of jail free card" for his crimes.
It's time you be held accountable for your actions.
