The Clinton's Terror Pardons

On Aug. 7, 1999, the one-year anniversary of the U.S. African embassy bombings that killed 257 people and injured 5,000, President Bill Clinton reaffirmed his commitment to the victims of terrorism, vowing that he "will not rest until justice is done." Four days later, while Congress was on summer recess, the White House quietly issued a press release announcing that the president was granting clemency to 16 imprisoned members of FALN.

Mr. Clinton justified the clemencies by asserting that the sentences were disproportionate to the crimes.

The FALN, translated as The Armed Forces of National Liberation, claimed responsibility for or were blamed for 130 bombings, most of them in New York and Chicago, in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Is it true thay FLAN members are the only people - in the history of the United States - to receive a presidential pardon without asking for one?

There really isn't a silver lining here. Pardoning terrorists is unforgivable. But this horrible act might lead hillary to overtaking obama in the overall popular vote, after the Puerto Rican primary. And that would cause the democrat convention to be a like an Irwin Allen film on steroids. So it would end either candidates chances to become president which is a good thing.
