GREAT NEWS NINA--THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW--THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN LOCKED UP IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Their sentences will now expire on March 20 of this year.

Noted. Now THIS is presidential. Certainly, sooner would have been better...and never would have been best. Immediate release and expungement of the records would be appropriate in these cases. Thank you, Nina...I read this with great satisfaction and I know you brought the story to us in that same mode.

If only his co-conspirators had served as long...poor guys.

Yes...thank you. It is great news and should have been done long ago. Like you, I was thrilled to see President Bush do this...and surprised.
