The Commutation

I'm not surprised by the commutation. Outraged, yes. But not surprised. In the end, this was about protecting Rove and Cheney who were the true architects of the Plame outing. The other outrage is that 45% of the population don't know who Libby is. The administration has gotten away with constant lying because a large part of the population isn't paying attention. And that's another outrage.
Added: Here's the White House phone numbers if you'd like to express your opinion. Warning, the switchboards are pretty clogged up right now (Guess a few folks care). It took me 4 tries to get through.

The offices are taken from the White House site, and the numbers are formatted like so: 1-202-555-1212 / 1-202-555-1212, where the first number is via internet search, and the second, italic number is from the Directory:
