The neocon's blind crusade to land a pardon for Scooter Libby hit a new low last week when Fouad Ajami, the John Hopkins prof and post 9/11 media darling who turned out to be wrong every which way about war with Iraq, wrote a deeply offensive column in the Wall Street Journal beseeching President Bush to let Libby go free.

A lot of water has gone over the dam, much of it blood tinged since George W. Bush first swore to preserve and protect the Constitution. Given the gravity of other issues, it's baffling why so many people spend any energy thinking about Scooter Libby's pardon.

Bush has pardoned 113 people during his presidency, including a Tennessee bootlegger and a Mississippi odometer cheat. But none has drawn the public scrutiny, nor posed the same political challenge, as the candidate that many conservatives hope will be pardon No. 114: I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to VP Dick Cheney.

Democratic leaders urged President Bush not to pardon former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who was convicted on federal charges Tuesday. Libby's attorneys, meanwhile, vowed to seek a new trial, or, failing that, to appeal the jury's verdict.

President George W. Bush has the constitutional power to pardon Lewis "Scooter" Libby, but will he do it?
