Talk:Libby, former Cheney aide, pleads not guilty

Is the indication that Libby is a Cheney aide in the title really necessary? It seems like its trying to imply something about Cheney's involvement. --Wolfrider 22:25, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

The fact that Scooter is/was an extremely influential figure in US politics is why this is world news, (unlike, say, 'Devonshire man accused of being drunk and disorderly pleades not guilty') - so I personally believe it is relevant & does not imply that Cheney is guilty of the same thing Libby is accused of. :) --Mike

 * I expanded the article by bringing out more info from the second source. Neutralizer 19:33, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I have examined the source twice more, http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/11/03/national/w074713S93.DTL, and have found no mention of presidential pardon anywhere within it. I have found no mention of Mr. Bush jr. except:
 * Libby's indictment has enabled Democrats to raise anew questions about the Bush administration's primary justification for invading Iraq
 * and
 * Bush told the nation on Jan. 28, 2003, that "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
 * In short, there is no support for the statement:
 * President George W. Bush has not ruled out the possibility of granting a presidential pardon to Libby should he be convicted. Democratic leaders, however, have requested that the president do so.
 * And so I am removing it for a second time as unsupported by sources. - Amgine / talk 00:07, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
