June 14 is going to be a big day, says William Rivers Pitt, referring to the date that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby will hear the outcome of his appeals process. Bush's decision on whether to pardon Libby presents, "perhaps the most dangerous tipping point facing the Bush administration," declares Pitt. Does Bush pardon Libby to avoid "the kind of terminal public backlash Nixon absorbed after the firing of Archibald Cox during the Watergate scandal," or should he avoid pardoning Libby and risk Libby's decision to "escape prison time by telling Fitzgerald what he knows?"
