you said SW. I felt like Clinton had committed the ultimate betrayal, his blackest, darkest moment for which many may never forgive him. Though I suspect he was blackmailed by the FBI, it was a cowardly act to lead the Indian community to believe Peltier would be pardoned. So many hopes of people around the world were dashed as a chance for redemption and healing was squandered. Who could ever expect Bush to pardon this man? Leonard has been in prison for, I believe 27 years now, suffers from poor health and may possibly die in prison. His guilt was never proven. He was convicted through false testimony, fabricated evidence and blatent FBI misconduct. Some of the most respected people on the planet have called for his freedom.

In a letter to Clinton, Robbie Robertson (The Band) pleaded that even IF Peltier was guilty, which was never proven, the amount of time he had spent in prison would have been more than enough already considering the reign of terror and climate of fear brought on by the "goon squads" and FBI at that time.

He is considered to be a political prisoner by people all over the world, including Amnesty International. Please read "In The Spirit Of Crazy Horse" for it will open your eyes to a part of American history that you may know nothing about.

Leonard's birthday is coming up Sept. 12. Free Leonard Peltier.


**** THANK YOU WILL!
