If he is not allowed to remain free pending appeal the pressure will be on Bush for an early pardon rather than later.

Facts, Kuci. As far as I can tell, Koy is correct.

OTOH one can simply raid the national archives and destroy documents in the midst of a 9/11 commission investigation and simply get probation and a temporary loss of security clearance.

If someone were convicted of perjuring themselves in a special prosecutors investigation of filesharing, what prison term would they get? Has their ever been such a conviction?

Im not speaking to whether Libby should do more time or not, but comparing an actual sentence for perjury to a maximum sentence for something else is silly.
