"Springing someone from the slammer would be an unusual presidential
platform. But Mr. Thompson, a former senator from Tennessee and
Washington lobbyist, has been adamant that Mr. Libby was the victim of
an overzealous prosecutor, wrongheaded justice and a bungling C.I.A. “It
makes me mad as the devil just to think about it,” he has said ....Championing the Libby cause could further endear Mr. Thompson to some
conservatives. It would also carry obvious political risks, but Mr.
Thompson has said he doesn’t care. A spokesman for Mr. Thompson could
not be reached today."
From the New York Times....
