Isn't it obvious why this pardon is special? I mean, there a dozen reasons, but the big one is that the president pardoned a man who very well might have had information that could have resulted in criminal charges for the Preznit. He pardoned a guy who might have been able to rat on him.
It creates, at the very least (cause I'm like 99.9% sure Libby is guilty as fuck and should go to jail for life for disclosing the name of an undercover CIA agent for political gains, at then covering that up) the perception of a quid pro quo. Bush makes sure he does no time, and Libby doesn't spill the beans.
