So the president of the US thinks that the sentence against the former aide of Vice-President Cheney, "Scooter" Libby, is too harsh... and he simply commutes it. It seems that the US administration no longer even pretends to be based on the principles of justice, fairness. A band of crooks, sworn to help each other out in case of trouble. The mob is governing the most powerful country on earth. No longer is any facade being kept to show at least an appearance of impartiality.
This will be bad for the Republican Party at the next election. The voters will (hopefully) not forget this.
Why not abolish the democracy there alltogether? It seems that it already is no longer functioning. First there seemed to be a glimpes of hope, that actually someone is being sued for crimes and misdemeanors, as Scooter Libby committed them (by covering up and obstructing justice in the Valerie Plame case). He gets a trial, and gets a sentence. All according to the official procedures, due-course. But then, the ruler of the country just overrules... what example does this set? This US government no longer has any credibility left. No moral leadership. Nothing.
