For an excellent post on why convicted felon Scooter Libby should neither be pardoned nor have his sentence commuted, see The Anonymous Liberal.
Key passage: "A careful, sympathetic, conscientious jury convicted Libby beyond a reasonable doubt on four felony counts. He showed zero contrition and was therefore sentenced in accordance with federal guidelines and practice. If that's the sort of injustice that warrants a presidential pardon, then we might as well just empty the federal prisons and grant amnesty to every federal inmate."
