I heard an interesting theory on NPR today about why Bush did not give “Scooter” Libby a full pardon: because now Libby can still go to appeals court to get fully acquitted of the charges. This way the Bush administration can simply remain quiet and state that they “cannot give any information which might interfere with the appeal case”.

Note, this was a theory given by one of the guests, and not the opinion of NPR, so please no accusations of reporters having a liberal bias.

After all, the “liberal-run-media” idea is a myth put forward by the conservative run media.
