And the men will now appeal their convictions and hope to be exonerated. A pardon would not accomplish that.

Whether exoneration through the courts is accomplished or not, that was not the goal of President Bush.

He even took a shot at them on his way out: His action “does not diminish the seriousness of their crime.”

Typical.

Indeed. I also think that a pardon would have prevented them from appealing, as acceptance of a pardon is an admission that one was guilty in the first place.
