Presidential Pardons
William Jefferson Clinton on Presidental pardons and commutations of sentences (pulled from Drudge):
President Clinton issued a number of pardons on his last day as President that created about as much controversy as the Libby pardon has. Clinton was only criticized by Republicans—Bush is getting it from both sides as some Republicans believe he should have given Libby a full pardon instead of merely commuting his prison sentence.
