Well Dave, I'm concerned about the pardon provision too, but not because of Marc Rich. I'm concerned because of Scooter Libby. He hasn't been pardoned (yet), but Bush did commute his sentence. Pardons and commutations like Sccoter Libby, and several by Poppy Bush too, concerning Iran/Contra, open the way for any president to have underlings commit crimes at his bidding, with the certainty that they will never have to face justice. This possibility is so threatening to the rule of law and justice that I believe a review board with veto power should review ALL presidential pardons and commutations.
