Court Rejects Request to Delay Libby’s Sentence

New York Times:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court refused on Monday to step in and delay former White House aide I. Lewis ''Scooter'' Libby's prison sentence in the CIA leak case. ...

''I hope it puts pressure on the president. He's a man of pronounced loyalties and he should have loyalty to Scooter Libby,'' said former Ambassador Richard Carlson, a member of Libby's defense fund. ''It would be a travesty for him to go off to prison. The president will take some heat for it. So what? He takes heat for everything.''
