Cheney Unhappy Bush Did Not Pardon Former Aide Libby


Recommended Posts

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Vice President Dick Cheney said on Sunday he was unhappy with then-President George W. Bush's refusal to pardon Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Cheney's onetime chief of staff who was convicted in the CIA leak case.

"I was clearly not happy that we, in effect, left Scooter sort of hanging in the wind," Cheney said in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union with John King." He acknowledged a "fundamental difference of opinion" with Bush on the matter.

Interesting. Maybe Cheney is worried that Libby may get talkative in the future at some point. :)

He was sentenced to prison for obstructing an investigation into a possible crime that he didn't commit. I'm not too happy about it, either.

Not to mention that the person who actually revealed Plame's identity wasn't charged at all.
