yes it finally happened. THey will now be getting out of jail on March 20. It is about time. But I guess better late than never. I wonder why he waited til his last day in office to do this? What do you think about this? Why are they not getting a full pardons?

They should have been given a full pardon, but I guess this is better than nothing. Will they have their jobs restored? will they have a record? Anyway, I give credit where it's due, and though it doesn't make up for what these men and their families had to go through, it is something. thank you soon-to-be citizen-Bush. Now, President Obama, make it a full pardon please?

yep I definately see that one happening....trying to get Obama to give them a full pardon. I hope he does it...they deserve it. With this commute they will not get their jobs back and they will still be convicted felons. Which will make it hard for them to get a job.

I say it's about time and I'm also curious as to why he didn't give them full pardons. I'm sure we'll hear more about it eventually. I'll be waiting for them to give a full report on the story. Annie

I know I want to know why they did not get a full pardon too. But with the inauguration going on we may not get the full story for a while.
