CHICAGO - Republican president candidate Mitt Romney,
who denied every pardon or commutation during his
term as Massachusetts governor, said Thursday a
pardon for former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter"
Libby deserves a close examination.
"I took a careful review during my term as governor
of the people that were brought forward. That doesn't
mean I pardoned them, but I took a careful review. I
think this deserves a very careful review," Romney told
The Associated Press in a brief interview.

careful look," he said.
-snip-Romney has said he refused pardons because he didn't
want to overturn a jury.
