Romney: Libby case needs careful review

CHICAGO - Republican president candidate Mitt Romney,
who denied every pardon or commutation during his
term as Massachusetts governor, said Thursday a
pardon for former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter"
Libby deserves a close examination.

"I took a careful review during my term as governor
of the people that were brought forward. That doesn't
mean I pardoned them, but I took a careful review. I
think this deserves a very careful review," Romney told
The Associated Press in a brief interview.

Speaking with reporters earlier in Chicago, Romney was
asked about the possibility of a pardon.

"That abuse of prosecutorial discretion justifies a very
careful look," he said.

Romney has said he refused pardons because he didn't
want to overturn a jury.

Mr. Romney apparently respects jury decisions that suit him.

1. Has he ever commented on the Plame outing to begin with

About the destruction of a valuable intelligence tool, about the ramifications to the CIA, about others who were put in danger or possibly killed because of it, about the effects on her family? I surely do not recall any such statement.

2. what a dweeb

3. I agree with him

It should be reviewed carefully, and see who else needs to go to prison.....like dickhead cheney, Armitage, Rove, etc.

Libby lied. His choice. You play, you pay.
