A federal judge said Thursday he will not delay a 2 1/2-year
prison sentence for I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby in the CIA leak case,
a ruling that could send his guilty ass to prison within weeks.
U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton’s decision will send Libby’s
attorneys rushing to an appeals court to block the sentence and
could force Bush to pardon the traitor to keep him quiet.
No date was set for Libby to report to prison but it’s expected
to be within six to eight weeks. That will be left up to the U.S.
Bureau of Prisons, which will also select a facility.
