The best punishment to give Robert Wilson would be forbidding him from appearing on the talk show circuit, giving interviews, etc. I honestly think he's continuing to fuel this whole thing because the man just likes to see his face on TV and hear himself speak. IMHO his wife has gotten completely lost in the shuffle because he's made this all about him.
Clearly lying under oath is a bad thing, and I wouldn't be happy if Bush had pardoned Libby outright. But let's compare this to any other lying under oath verdict... 30 months was steep. When Martha got 5 months in jail the talking heads all thought it was a serious miscarriage of justice and an incredibly harsh sentence... 30 months is a bit longer than 5 months.
