Most oppose pardon for Libby in CIA leak case
Most oppose pardon for Libby in CIA leak case

Published: Tuesday March 13, 2007

Most Americans don't want President Bush to pardon Vice President Cheney's convicted former chief of staff Lewis Libby, per a new poll.

"Nearly 70 percent of Americans oppose a presidential pardon for former White House aide Lewis 'Scooter' Libby after his conviction on perjury and other charges related to a CIA agent's exposure, according to a CNN poll out Monday," the news network reports.

Less than 20 percent support a Libby pardon, the article states.

"A narrow majority," reveals CNN, "said they believe Cheney was part of a cover-up in the case." Sixty percent of those polled also said they didn't consider Cheney "qualified to serve as president should it become necessary; only 32 percent said he would be qualified to lead the country himself."

Gee, Andrea Mitchell said just yesterday that most Americans want Libby pardoned? I guess they changed their minds overnight.
