2. I think he's been forced to foul them on a technicality here.
If I understand it correctly, a pardon explicitly implies a forgiveness of an illegality. He couldn't pardon anybody - it would have been admitting they'd done something criminal - something they needed a pardon for. Painted into a corner again, george.

3. What if 6 months from now Gonzo pulls one out of his pocket dated 1/19/09?
And the press calls up George and he says, 'yep, I signed it'. Who is to say he didn't and who is to say the channel makes it invalid - who could challenge it at all?

4. Call your congress critters NOW is the time to insist that our government is one of laws. Indict and
imprison the war criminals now before France does.
