Salon.com News | Pardon for peace?

Joe Conason brings a new angle to the Rich pardon that has yet to be taken up by the media. He poignantly mentions that the possible influence of closing a peace deal in the middle east does not excuse the misguided pardoning of financial criminal who fled the nation to escape justice. Nonetheless, he makes the point that such a pardon made in the name of peace needs to be examined in a different context than one made in exchange for years of dutiful campaign finance.
