Quote from CaptainObvious:

Depends on who you're shooting. I can think of a lot of people that deserve to be shot, armed or not.

Me too, and the list keeps getting longer and longer.

Quote from Arnie:

How long would smuggling last if we had a bounty on drug smugglers?

Good idea, maybe even a new cottage industry of "guided hunts".

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

The fact that Bush finally commutes these absurd sentences after putting these two guys through hell and ruining them does nothing to erase the bitter taste in conservatives' mouths.

Yep. But you gotta admit, this was a surprise. Most of us exepected Bush to do this immediately. When he didn't, it was yet another entry in a seeming endless list of failures.
