Marc Rich Pardon

The New York Times: Interesting article on the Marc Rich Pardon that was granted by Bill Clinton on his last day in the White House. The issue has come up again due to leak that Eric Holder is to be Attorney General in a Obama Administration, Mr Holder supported the Pardon of Mr Rich. The article in the Liberal New York Times is very critical, the article states the following, " He had the last word at Justice on clemency petitions and he saw to it that he had the only word. He brokered one of the most unjustifiable pardons that an American president has ever granted. " An interesting article to be published by the Liberal Times, Mr Holder would be the first African - American to hold the post if he passes the confirmation process. It can be postulated that the Times has figured out it cant be the press department for an Obama Administration for four to eight years.
