SusanHu writes on the disturbing display of Libby jurors calling for a pardon.
If you caught MSNBC’s Hardball today, you saw a kindly, bright Libby juror, Ann Redington, saying things like “I don’t want him to go to jail” … “Libby seemed to be ‘a really nice guy’” … “He seemed like a ton of fun” … “I didn’t want to see him and his wife and say he was guilty of a crime” … “I think he got caught in a difficult situation where he got caught in the initial lie, and it just snowballed.” Ann, and the other jurors, need a sit-down with Larry Johnson, Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson, Robert Richer, Bob Baer, Tyler Drumhiller, and other intel experts who know what went down. An hour or so with that group, and Ann will understand that Scooter was no hapless nice guy trapped in a bad situation.
Only in America can you have a guy revealed as the prime mover in the needless slaughter of over a half a million innocent people and have the jurors say shit like this. Our sense of entitlement is staggering.
