Reasonableness is subjective. Anyone who has read anything I have written on the Libby situation would know that I think the whole issue was a waste of time and resources. I don't believe he committed any crime, and I think the sentence was unreasonable.
I think Bush was trying to balance his respect for the judicial process and Libby being the victim of a political witch hunt. Having a felony record, $250,000 fine, and 2 years of probation is still significant.
