Newsweek's Michael Isikoff delves into the internal deliberations that led Bush to keep Libby out of jail, and reports that White House counsel Fred Fielding "reluctantly concluded that the jury had reached a reasonable verdict: the evidence was strong that Libby testified falsely about his role in the leak." Vice President Dick Cheney didn't even have to speak to exert his considerable influence, Isikoff writes. "I'm not sure Bush had a choice," one Bush adviser tells Isikoff. "If he didn't act, it would have caused a fracture with the vice president."
