George Bush senior pardon of Reagans Iran Contra convictions - Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinburger, Elliot Abrams and National Security Advisor Robert McFarland. Their participation in Nicaragua and El Salvador caused thousands of needless deaths, still can't beleive they actually placed mines at the Nicaraguan Ports.

I'd really like a link on this.
Kerry was never tried or convicted of a crime.

You didn't really mean that, did you?
China is funding parts of our debt

Two things that stand out

Clinton's pardon of FALN (driven by the current ATTY GEN and lifelong Americahater)

and Dubya's NON-pardon of Scooter Libby. This was a travisty of justice. Dude should have been pardoned the day he was convicted.

I would think Nixons use of price controls would be a great hit with the left
Even a snake in the grass does a good thing by keeping the rodent population down but it's still a snake in the grass.

What's up with this Obama pardon?

Ronald Lee Foster, of Beaver Falls, Pa., sentenced in 1963 to a year of probation and a $20 fine for mutilating coins.

Why would something this old and insignificant hit the President's desk?

Obama's got a lot of work to do to catch up with other presidents.

The Nixon pardon continues to disturb me, but i'm glad Ford did it. But i still think it was pretty bad.
