From the Orwellian pages of the New York Times:
Soft on Crime http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/03/o..._r=2&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
When he was running for president, George W. Bush loved to contrast his law-abiding morality with that of President Clinton, who was charged with perjury and acquitted. For Mr. Bush, the candidate, politics, after a time of tarnished ideals, can be higher and better.
Not so for Mr. Bush, the president. Judging from his decision yesterday to commute the 30-month sentence of I. Lewis Libby Jr. who was charged with perjury and convicted untarnished ideals are less of a priority than protecting the secrets of his inner circle and mollifying the tiny slice of right-wing Americans left in his political base.
Mr. Libby was convicted of lying to federal agents investigating the leak of the name of a covert C.I.A. operative, Valerie Wilson. Mrs. Wilsons husband, Joseph Wilson, was asked to investigate a central claim in Mr. Bushs drive to war with Iraq whether Iraq tried to purchase uranium from Africa. Mr. Wilson concluded that Iraq had not done that and had the temerity to share those conclusions with the American public.
It seems clear from the record that Vice President Dick Cheney organized a campaign to discredit Mr. Wilson. And Mr. Libby, who was Mr. Cheneys chief of staff, was willing to lie to protect his boss

Remember how boldly and easily the New York Times lies each and every time you read an article from them.
They are shameless, dangerous liars.
