Democratic lawmakers are responding to the verdict in the CIA leak case trial, which found former White House aide I. Lewis Libby guilty on four of five counts.

A statement issued by Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) referred to revelations in the trial that Vice President Dick Cheney could be implicated further in the outing of former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson. Reid also implored President Bush not to issue a pardon for Libby.

Reid continued, "Lewis Libby has been convicted of perjury, but his trial revealed deeper truths about Vice President Cheney's role in this sordid affair."

"Now President Bush must pledge not to pardon Libby for his criminal conduct," Reid's statement concluded.

He will advise GWB not to pardon someone two years from now.

Wow, that takes balls.
