The President's statement says it all. A pardon would have been better to address the out-of-control special prosecutor's pursuit of someone who had no connection with the leak itself. The leak, as we now know, was from Armitage - and it was an effort to expose the lies of one Joe Wilson and possible neptism on the part Valerie Plame.
Still, it is a start. One can hope that the pardon will come at an appropriate time.

More deliberations...
The Libby jury is still deliberating.
There are two things about this whole trial that really are bad for the country.
1. The way that Patrick Fitzgerald went rogue. There was no crime. The identity of the leaker was known before he even was named as special prosecutor.
2. The fact that people are looking at this and ruling out a career in public service. Why get involved when this sort of thing will happen? There is far less hassle and far more pay in the private sector.
