Date: Mon, 02 Jul 2007 17:02:39 -0500
WASHINGTON - President Bush commuted the sentence of former aide I.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby Monday, sparing him from a 2 1/2-year prison term
in the CIA leak case. Bush left intact a $250,000 fine and two years
probation for Libby, according to a senior White House official. Bush's
move came hours after a federal appeals panel ruled Libby could not
delay his prison term in the case.
