Juan Williams rebuts Kristol's call on Fox for Libby pardon

On Fox News Sunday, Juan Williams did what he does each week -- act as the only liberal on the roundtable panel and hold his ground against four conservatives. This week, he rebutted a call by neoconservative William Kristol for Bush to pardon Scooter Libby:

KRISTOL: He needs to pardon Libby now. I think that would actually reinvigorate his supporters, and show that he's willing to fight to defend his people and defend the war that he led us into.

WILLIAMS: Well, it would certainly be a demonstration of loyalty. But to you think that it would also be a demonstration of lack of fealty to the idea of law under a constitution when you obstruct justice and lie under oath? I mean, it reminds me of giving medals of freedom to George Tenet and Paul Bremer after that fiasco in Iraq. You just say to your friends, "It's okay, you get a 'get out of jail free card.'" I don't think that's a way you should run a country.

$500,000,000,000 spent, 3,200 American lives lost, and the military stretched to the max -- all so that a few white collars could test a conservative academic theory about international politics.  Sad.

My god I hate Krystol!! He sees this as a tactical difficulty instead of the underlying reality that the law, and perfectly acceptable, agreed upon and enforcable laws, were broken.

Also, these ideas are not 'Progressive.' You people suck ass.

KRISTOL is a repulsive creton destined for the pit of hell. The seed doesn't fall far from the tree. Kristol's father was a TROTSKYITE fauxjew who fled Ukraine after participating in the slaughter of Christians.

Billy Kristol Balls makes me think about bringing back tar and feathering.

But should Scooter Libby really have been pardoned?! That is the ultimate question there....

awesome response, mr. williams

Bush = extremest child raised by a man who was raised by a Nazi. Not a surprise then that he would use false flag techniques that Hitler used, The Reichstag Fire: burning down the German Parliament building, blaming it on communist terrorists, using it to pass The Enabling Act, basically stripping the Germans of their constitution and opening up the door for his preemptive wars. Bush + 911 = Homeland Security Act, Patriot Act, Military Tribunals act = no more constitution for Americans!

JW is absolutely right here. Neocons and Socialists alike hold loyalty above justice and detest the rule of law because it frustrates their vision of political supremacy.

Libby should have been convicted of Treason, not perjury. Perhaps Rove should be facing the death penalty right now. You conservatives are very hypocritical about this stuff.

[johnedwards1968]

Very well spoken. I think most Americans assume that when you speak against a jewish person, or against Israel, that you are some kind of racist. Thanks for pointing out the distinction.
