No pardon editorials for Libby

Maybe it's just too early, maybe they'll come tomorrow, but I must admit to being surprised that there are no "Free Libby" editorials in the WaPo or NYTimes. (The only one I see is a NYTimes board editorial calling it "an appropriate and necessary punishment for his obstruction of justice.")

I know there are a few outside the mainstream, like Kristol at the Weekly Standard or National Review, but, as the previous public defense of Libby has been so well coordinated, where is the queued up response?

(There is a Peter Baker front page piece discussing the arguments around the White House, but really, there's nobody in major ink calling for pardon. I'm just surprised.)
