Finally!

I've been posting for weeks that Democrats need to press the White House to pledge not pardon anyone implicated in the Plame leak investigation, and finally Reid and the Senate Democratic leadership has gotten around to it:

The indictment of I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of
Staff, marks the first time in 131 years that a senior White House official has
been charged with a crime while still serving in the White House. The charges,
while not yet proven, are extraordinarily serious and deeply disturbing.

Although it is too early to judge Mr. Libby guilty or innocent of these
particular charges, it is not too early for you to reassure the American people
that you understand the enormous gravity of the allegations. To this end, we
urge you to pledge that if Mr. Libby or anyone else is found guilty vof a crime
in connection with Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation, you will not exercise
your authority to issue a Presidential pardon.

It is crucial that you make clear in advance that, if convicted, Mr. Libby
will not be able to rely on his close relationship with you or Vice President
Cheney to obtain the kind of extraordinarily special treatment unavailable to
ordinary Americans. In addition you should do nothing to undermine Mr.
Fitzgerald?s investigation or diminish accountability in your White House. A
pardon in these circumstances would signal that this White House considers
itself above the law.

We also urge you to state publicly whether anyone in the White
House -- including White House counsel Harriet Miers or Vice President
Cheney -- has already discussed the possibility of a pardon with Mr. Libby.
Particularly given that the American people are still in the dark about what
precisely transpired in the White House with respect to the CIA leak, it would
be highly inappropriate if there were such discussions going on behind the
scenes.

Swift public action on your part will make clear that you take seriously
perjury and obstruction of justice at the highest levels of our government and
that you meant what you said about bringing "honor and dignity" to the White
House. We eagerly await your response and hope that you will announce your
intentions promptly.

Sounds like about right for me. But I'm sure they "won't comment on the ongoing investigation."
