Anyone up for Pardon watch? Bush basically has 48 hours to

do the most damage.



Anyone worried about anything or who he might pardon?

1. Maybe there will be no pardons?

[exboyfil]

5. If he pardons no one else

will that in anyway change your opinion of him?

[tekisui]

10. Not me. I may think he is dumber than I thought.

But, will still hold him in the lowest regard. The only being I see as below him is dickie.

[Catherine Vincent]

11. No.

I think he's still a miserable failure.

2. My guess is that the pardons are all done

or will be done by Monday ..... little 2 shoes might say who he has pardoned
@ 1:30 PM on the 20th as he is getting out of town and no longer in office.

Or he might just slink away and say nothing but still pardon Gonzales, Libby,
Rove, and ...

3. That's my concern he pardons the whole crime family and we don't

find out until the 21st.

8. The pardons are a done deal (my thoughts)

bush & Cheney already have lawyers for the Plame outing (Since July 2004)
the torture was illegal
The Don Seigleman affair was illegal
the use of the DoJ as "the muscle" in their actions was illegal
the caging of voters was illegal
the signing statements were not legal
the spying was illegal
lying us into a war was illegal
manipulations of the press was illegal
rigging the California electric grid to force Grey Davis out was illegal

No doubt bush will issue pardons ... he might say something about
"keeping us safe"

BTW I have no doubt that bush used the NSA to spy on Kerry in 2004 and to
jam a voter protection hot line in Ohio too.

4. Mark my words, you will not know about the pardons until at least tuesday afternoon, late

Or more likely wednesday morning when the new staff comes to work at the White House.

6. I'm wondering if presidential pardons would cover these criminals

Can war crimes be pardoned? Crimes against humanity? Treason?

I mean, what these thugs and cutthroats did make what Nixon did look like a church picnic...

7. I think the international community..

is the only body that will be able to prosecute war crimes..just like it did with Henry Kissinger. I suppose our dominating presence across the globe and in Iraq will prevent that from happening.

9. We can always hope they will handle this as well as they did Katrina n/t
