From the L.A. Times...

John Walker Lindh broke the law. But 'the American Taliban' wasn't a terrorist, and he deserves clemency.
The president's power to grant clemency -- in the form of either a pardon or a commutation -- is much maligned and occasionally abused, as was the case when President Bush used it to keep his colleague, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, from facing even a day in prison for lying and obstructing justice. But the power has its appropriate uses as well, and the case of John Walker Lindh calls out for it.

Can you believe this nonsense? Comparing a traitor and terrorist to the great patriot Scooter Libby? What are they smoking?!
