...Bush may have an incentive to at least keep the door open to a possible pardon, rather than foreclosing it now, as Democrats insist. In his first comments after the verdict, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald hinted that he might argue for leniency in Libby's sentencing if Dick Cheney's former aide decided to cooperate with the government now that he's been convicted. "Mr. Libby is like any other defendant. If his counsel or he wish to pursue any options, they can contact us," said Fitzgerald. Without the possibility of a Presidential pardon, Libby would presumably have more incentive...
...Lewis Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was found guilty today on four counts of obstructing justice and lying to the FBI and a grand jury during an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity. The 11-person jury acquitted Libby on a fifth count of making a false statement to FBI agents...
...Wells was playing catch-up by the time he opened the case for the defense, teasing the court with the possibility that Libby and even Vice President Dick Cheney would testify.

Perhaps those dwelling in cement-rendered Putney mansions will opt for the well-heeled woman from Mosman instead of the man from Kirribilli who invites Dick Cheney over for a beer. Every now and then during the campaign, Howard will wonder if the best thing he could have done for himself and the Liberal Party was to hand over the leadership to Treasurer Peter Costello last year. But the ditherers of Bennelong will not easily ditch...
