I'm just wondering if current President Bush will be as liberal with the pardoning of so many innocents as Clintoon was with pardoning so many criminals. Will be interesting to see who is handed a "get out of jail free" card before he leaves office.

mbrewer - the number Clinton pardoned in his last hours (and oh - how I wish I was referring to Zero right now!) was 140.
Earlier pardons in his term that people seem to have "forgotten" - and directly related to his views on Terrorism - were to grant full pardons to all 16 members of the FALN cell responsible for numerous bombing in New York and other cities that resulyed in the maiming of 2 NYPD officers (1 lost a leg and a hand, the other his eyesight) and a number of deaths - nevermind hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.

Jeeze, Bruce... so sorry to hear that you were so badly injured in the line of duty. And very angry to hear about the circumstances.

OOPS!
I misread your message, Bruce. I thought you said "I" lost a leg and hand - I just re-read and see that it's not an "I" but a "1" (one).
I stick by my remark about my anger over the circumstances which led to the loss of life, limb and property, however.
