Bush has pardoned 113 people during his presidency, including a Tennessee bootlegger and a Mississippi odometer cheat. But none has drawn the public scrutiny, nor posed the same political challenge, as the candidate that many conservatives hope will be pardon No. 114: I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to VP Dick Cheney.

Conservative pundits seem miffed that Valerie Plame, her cover blown, decided to pose for Vanity Fair or get a book deal or sell her story to Hollywood. Well, what do they expect? She lost her job, her career. She can't become a covert agent for Canada. Or Mexico. And just because she's bounced back doesn't mean she wasn't victimized.

In the light of the Libby trial, he cannot be charged with perjury himself, but if he trashed an agent working on a real enough threat to the security of the US and Europe, out of personal spite, then there must be a prima facie case for impeachment.

The case was only marginally about Libby. What was really on trial was the whole culture of an Administration that treated the truth as a relative virtue, as something it could take or leave as it needed. Everyone knows now that Bush and Cheney took the country into a deadly, costly and open-ended war on flimsy evidence

In legal terms, the jury has spoken in the Libby case. In political terms, Dick Cheney is still awaiting a judgment. With Tuesday's verdict on Mr. Libby - guilty on four of five counts, including perjury and obstruction of justice - Mr. Cheney's critics, and even some of his supporters, said the vice president had been diminished.
