Bushıs move came just five hours after a federal appeals panel ruled that Libby could not put off serving his sentence while he appealed his conviction. That meant jail time for Libby was imminent -- the US Bureau of Prisons had already assigned him a federal prisoner number. We get reaction from analyst and author Marcy Wheeler.
