Bush pardons 16, commutes sentence in drug caseGeorge W. Bush issued 16 pardons Thursday and commuted the sentence of an Iowa man convicted of drug charges.Where's James Dobson? When Bill Clinton pardoned people he was the anti-Christ.
Six of the federal offenses were drug crimes, while others included bank fraud, mail fraud, the acceptance of a kickback, a false statement on a loan application and conspiracy to defraud the government over taxes.
Seven of the 16 received no prison or jail time, instead getting probation or a reduction in their military pensions.
The longest sentence was nine years, for aiding cocaine distribution, followed by a six-year term for conspiracy to possess marijuana.
With this batch, Bush has issued 113 pardons and commuted three sentences in his nearly six years in the White House.
George W. Bush is soft on crime.
Update from Raw Story; Bush issues 16 pardons, one to campaign donor!
