- US President George W. Bush today spared Lewis "Scooter" Libby, formerly chief of staff to Vice-President Dick Cheney, from serving a 30-month prison sentence imposed on him for obstructing an inquiry into the leaking of the name of a covert CIA agent in 2003 to a journalist. President Bush emphasised that he was not pardoning the man and later on aides said Bush even suggested other ways of deterring him from doing such things again, such as building a wall around the White House and Capitol Hill, or as Bush called it 'to keep Scooters out as we grant amnesty to the Scooters already here'.
