online.wsj.com— Hillary wanted a Senate seat. Bill decided some Puerto Rican terrorists were being punished for 'guilt by association.'

Ms. Clinton said " I guarantee no new scandals ". Please democrats. Think. We need to make a fresh start. Clinton left a mess. Think about how they are going hammer on how "The Clintons" didn't get Bin Landin?
FTA: "The president had ignored federal guidelines for commutation of sentences, including the most fundamental: The prisoners hadn't actually asked for clemency."If Bill was - as he claimed - 'obsessed' with preventing terrorism, why would he release known, convicted terrorists? Please provide an explanation that accounts for the 16-way conference call to get their stories straight, the fact that none of the prisoners ever asked for clemency and does not involve the Latino voting bloc.
One more example of the cold-blooded cynicism that motivates the Clintons. As a grinning Bill Clinton once told Bob Dole when Dole, after the 1996 election, complained of a particularly gross distortion of one of his political stands; "You gotta do what you gotta do" It seems that Bill and Hillary Clinton "gotta do" almost anything that will advance their personal power agenda. Barack Obama may be a complete tyro but at least we can hope that he wouldn't threaten the nation's safety in such a cavalier and self interested way.
What's disgusting is that the WSJ did as little as possible covering this (or failing to cover it really) to protect their beloved Bill and not hinder Hillary's senate run. Now that they have a new messiah in Obama they suddenly feel the story 8 years later should be seen. Or Bill and Hillary freeing these murderers so she can get some more Puerto Rican support (and money) in N.Y. for her senate run.I wonder how many hours and pages were dedicated to Dick Cheney's hunting accident while this got what, a couple small articles most on page four. Notice it wasnt until the second paragraph that they even mentioned 4 people were killed and only one is humanized with a name and age. The WSJ and Billary are perfect for each other.
