Just a day after former Vice Presidential aide I.

When asked about the possibility of a pardon for Libby during last nights debate, Duncan Hunter suggested the pardon starts with the border agents who were sent to prison on the testimony of an alien drug mule.Mr. Bush also pardoned columnist Bob Novak, who published the former CIA agent’s name and then withheld the identity of the leaker from prosecutors, along with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, who also knew Mr. Armitage leaked but failed to disclose the fact.
