Journal Doublespeak on Libby

Today, a Journal editorial came out against the commutation of Lewis Scooter Libby's sentence. It seems that the Journal editors did so grudgingly.

After two days of stories, including yesterday’s lead, justifying and minimizing the President’s action, the Journal ran a small editorial condemning it. The editorial was second to one examining Sandoval county’s wireless network.

The totality of the Journal’s efforts have failed to give the details or main points of those opposed to the President’s decision. For an excellent summary of those points, I recommend:

Why did the Journal feel that it must give token disapproval to the Republican President’s efforts to ensure Libby’s silence about White House involvement in multiple felonies? It is simple. Fully 60% of the country opposes the President’s actions, including 40% of Republicans. Now, the Journal can say they were being fair . . . kind of like Fox News, you know, "fair and balanced."
