To the neocons, Scooter is a hero. Scooter was the pivot man in the veep's office moving the cherry-picked intel on Saddam's WMD, Saddam's nukes, Saddam's ties to 9-11 and al-Qaida to a collaborationist press as determined as he was to smash Iraq and Iran, secure Israel and control the Middle East. So what if Scooter lied to cover up the White House campaign to carve up Joe Wilson?
Cheney and Bush, fear that if Scooter goes to prison, and is staring at disgrace and 30 months away from friends and family, he may think he has been abandoned by people whose secrets he kept at the cost of reputation and freedom. An idle mind being the devil's workshop, Scooter might sit down and write a book, or phone "Bulldog" Fitzgerald and "spill the beans.".
