Danzig,
Commutation protects Libby from the civil action until the appeal is resolved.
He was found guilty by a jury of his peers, after an investigation by a special prosecutor (appointed by Bush), in a court presided over by a judge that was also appointed by Bush.
Libby is absolved and will serve no time for his four felonies (obstrucion of justice-guilty). That's a lot less than Paris Hilton served for her misdemeanor.
Many others that have been found guilty of the same charge of obstruction of justice (330, and I need to search for the link) have not been afforded the same consideration. "With liberty and justice for all" -Pledge of Alligience
