[macman37]

I'm happy for the guys. Better late than never... Even thought it never should have happened in the first place...

Shoulda Pardoned. Bush is pissing me off!

[Mark71]

This is great news! I just wish that Bush would have done it sooner. I wonder what made President Bush change his mind as I remember reading somewhere that he was not planning on pardoning these two men. Either way I am happy for this two men and their families.

They were not pardoned, their sentences were commuted. They are still convicted felons.

Wow, that's the first good headline in a long time that starts with , "George Bush to..."

Oops thats what I meant. In the article I read a few months ago (believe it was in the Wall Street Journal) it said that Bush would not pardon or commute their sentence because he felt that the punishment fits the crime. IMO it should have been a pardon but at least these guys are going home early to their families.

atleast their still outta jail but it sucks these poor guys are convicted felons still
