Karl Rove alone is enough to show the dishonest spirit of this particular presidential crew. But that isn't the issue at hand. Clinton didn't pardon someone in an attempt at self preservation or giving a free ride to a member of his inner group.
Stop referring back to Clinton. Its always a stretch. "Bush did this but Clinton sorta did something less than honest too thats not really of the same caliber." Can you muster a better argument than "Remember Clinton" or "Its in the constitution so sod off"?

Well it's only a stretch to you because your political leaning prevents you from seeing the obvious. Let me remind you that the other half of the Clinton team, and they ARE a team, is a serious contender for the Democratic party Presidential nomination next year, so stop acting like they are yesterdays news.
After all they are the people who sent Sandy Berger into the national archives to steal and destroy vital evidence on 9-11, they are the people who traded military secrets to the Chinese in return for campaign contributions, they are the people whose 8 years of ineffective responses to various Al Quaeda attacks got more than a few Americans killed around the world and emboldened them to attack us here in our homeland. These are the people you think are less dishonest than Carl Rove?
Susan McDougal was pardoned in return for her silence about the details of the Clinton
S (as in plural) involvement in the Whitewater scandal. She was exactly the same type of sacrifical lamb that you claim Libby to be and a direct comparison to the Ismaels original statment.
This is why I feel we shouldn't pay heed to the opinions of foreigners such as yourself, at least when its about our nations internal politics. Rarely do any of you have even a clue to our nations mood or the workings of our government, but you all still have an opinion which you insist on repeating ad nauseum. I apologize if i sound a bit callous or arrogant but I grow weary of it having read it ever since the days of DECnet.
Now you seem to have some kind of axe to grind against us with your repeated mention of various transgressions, like our subs travelling to close to your shores and the, what did you call it?, "treasonous"?, complicity of your government in cooperating with ours. Maybe instead of worrying about who our Presidents pardon for crimes that have nothing to do with your country, you ought to concentrate on your own politicans.
I PROMISE that if you do you won't hear a peep out of me about it. Your business is your own.
