Leniency for Libby: 

Happy 4th July America!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings,

I guess it's time to apply some logic to this decision by George W Bush to commute Libby. The republicans love to compare the war on terror as equivalent to the great world wars. I known many World War II veterans they surly would not stand for this bravado display of treason. The most critical competent in the prosecution of anti terrorism through out the world would relay on the ability by covert infiltration by your covert agencies. 

No matter how you dice the logic you end up at the cost of attacking the United States of America on September 11, 2001, value is placed at $250,000.00 fine, two years probation, and a felony charge. So what really happened that day obviously not too much? Any person requesting leniency for Libby is no real American.

Later, 

Jesse Hemingway
