"He Has Subverted the Rule of Law and the System of Justice" -- Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson Reacts to Bush's Commutation of Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jail Sentence in Outing of Valerie Plame

"He Has Subverted the Rule of Law and the System of Justice" -- Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson Reacts to Bush's Commutation of Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jail Sentence in Outing of Valerie Plame

Three days after President Bush commuted the thirty-month jail sentence of Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby, we spend the hour with former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, was outed as a CIA operative after Wilson publicly challenged the Bush administration’s reasons for going to war on Iraq. Libby was found guilty of perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements in the investigation into who blew Plame’s cover. Wilson says he believes Libby’s commutation was a quid pro quo for his silence on the role of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, whose administration he calls “corrupt from top to bottom.” [includes rush transcript]
