Siegelman Backers Seek Pardon for Ex-Ala Governor

10. But...maybe Obama can commute his sentence

if not mistaken, doesn't the person being pardon'd have to appologize and basically atone for his crimes to be considered in the first place for a pardon?

now, maybe what should happen is what they did with Scooter Libby, is to say time served and to free him that way (but it would still be on his record.) Commute his sentence.

that could be done, and use Libby as an example, however, the President has issued pardons
fewer times than any other modern day President.
He could easily commute Rodney B's sentence too (who made dreaming of riches a crime?)
and while he is at it, pardon that teenager kid Bush locked away Lindh, that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But I don't expect anything like this would happen before the election or even at Christmas time 2012 if Obama is reelected.
