Clemency Offered to FALN Terrorists

Bill Clinton pardoned sixteen members of the FALN organization. These men belonged to a Puerto Rican freedom terrorist group, which was responsible for planting over 130 bombs in public places in the U.S. They killed six people and injured seventy. The FALN represented the single largest terrorism campaign in the U.S. “Yet Clinton’s clemency released individuals from prison after serving less than twenty years of terms running from fifty-five to ninety years.”

Again, President Clinton did not follow formal pardon procedures. He skipped the Department of Justice and attorneys. The FBI did not conduct any background checks and the FALN did not even execute a formal request. These facts, coupled with the Department of Justice’s 1996 denial of their clemency, make Clinton’s motives highly questionable. The fallout was terrible for Clinton, receiving bipartisan condemnation and public fury. The Houseof Representatives later passed a resolution condemning Clinton’s pardon as an explicitly illegal action. One person, however, may have benefited from this clemency grant. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the President’s wife, won her senatorial bid for New York in the following election. She was elected senator in a state where 1.3 million Puerto Ricans would vote in the election.

Whether New York’s large Puerto Rican population voted on her behalf is not clear in the literature, but speculation leads to few legitimate justifications. Investigations were launched to find reasonable grounds for the clemency. However, “Congressional efforts to learn more about the FALN matter came to an end when Clinton invoked executive privilege to refuse subpoenas from congressional committee.” As the critics raged, the White House maintained that the pardon power is not subject to legislative deliberation.

CyberAlert. Tracking Media Bias Since 1996

Friday August 27, 1999


The Police Commissioner in New York City held a press conference Monday featuring officers injured by FALN attacks, including one who was blinded, to denounce President’s Clinton’s decision to pardon 16 FALN terrorists now serving time. Incredibly, only FNC bothered to tell viewers about the event or use it as a hook to explore Clinton’s August 11 decision.

Not only have ABC, CBS and NBC not yet looked at this issue according to MRC analysts Jessica Anderson, Brian Boyd and Geoffrey Dickens, neither have CNN or MSNBC. MRC analyst Paul Smith informed me the pardons have yet to be mentioned on CNN’s Inside Politics or The World Today and MRC analyst Mark Drake has not seen them cited on MSNBC’s The News with Brian Williams.

The August 18 CyberAlert outlined the basic facts of the case and ran an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal editorial about the rarity of pardons, suggesting this decision was motivated by Hillary’s Senate run, and how, despite White House claims, those to be pardoned do have ties to killings and injuries. Here again are two paragraphs from the August 13 Journal:

"Deputy White House Chief of Staff Maria Echaveste is quoted in yesterday’s papers as saying that those offered clemency ‘never killed anyone.’ This is preposterous. No one died in the [1983 Hartford] Wells Fargo heist but innocent people lost their lives in more than 100 attacks carried out by the same terrorist group on U.S. facilities. Even if these 16 terrorists didn’t murder anyone directly, they were part of a conspiracy that was to be extended by the funds stolen from the bank in Connecticut....
"To understand how rare it is for a President to commute a sentence or offer remission of a fine, as Mr. Clinton did for the 16 Puerto Rican terrorists this week, consider the numbers supplied by the Office of the Pardon Attorney. From the time he took office in January 1993 until April 2, the date the Office prepared its last report, Mr. Clinton had received 3,042 petitions for clemency. Until Wednesday, he had granted a total of three."

The August 20 CyberAlert noted how Greg Pierce, in his Inside Politics column for the Washington Times, reported how "FOP President Gilbert G. Gallegos, in a letter to Mr. Clinton yesterday, called the offer a ‘slap in the face’ to law enforcement officers everywhere." Gallegos also countered Clinton’s claim that the convicts did not hurt anyone.

Monday night, August 23, FNC uniquely pursued the story with a piece by Gary Matsumoto on the Fox Report. MRC analyst Brad Wilmouth transcribed the report, which began:
"From the mid ‘70s to the mid ‘80s, an obscure guerilla group, calling itself the Armed Forces of National Liberation, set off bombs and robbed banks across the country in an effort to secure independence for Puerto Rico. Now the convicted, sixteen of them serving in U.S. prisons, want clemency. And President Clinton is prepared to give it to them on condition that they renounce violence. Noble freedom fighters, or terrorist thugs? The New York Police Department is unanimous in its views."
Howard Safir, NYC Police Commissioner: "The NYPD is vehemently opposed to President Clinton’s offer of clemency to sixteen convicted members of the FALN. Let’s talk about some of the facts, such as the fact that the FALN is responsible for at least 150 bomb attacks over a nine year period, that resulted in six deaths and seventy injuries."
Matsumoto: "More Puerto Ricans live in New York than in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s capital. One million, according to the last census. That comes to about twelve percent of New York City’s population, a hefty voting block. Detective Richard Pascarella was blinded by an FALN bomb planted outside of New York Police Headquarters. Pascarella believes the President is indulging in blatant politicking for his wife."
Richard Pascarella, retired NYPD detective: "This is really truly pandering to the Hispanic community, the Latino community, for their vote when Mrs. Clinton runs for the vacated seat of Patrick Moynihan in New York state."
Matsumoto: "Some Puerto Ricans believe the FALN never belonged in jail in the first place."
Rafael Martinez-Alequin, The Free Press: "People who fight for the independence of their country, whether it be in Puerto Rico, or Northern Ireland, they are not criminals."
Matsumoto: "But this man’s in a minority among Puerto Ricans, who routinely vote against independence in referendums. One of the bombs was planted here at this New York City landmark near Wall Street. The Fraunces (sp?) Tavern, one of the oldest in the United States. It was January 1975, a member of the FALN entered through this door with a bomb stuffed in a valise. The blast ripped through a lunchtime crowd, killing four people and injuring more than fifty. The New York cops, who say they speak for the dead and injured, have little sympathy for the FALN members complaining of long prison terms."
Anthony Senft, NYPD Detective: "But I have a life sentence. I lost an eye. I have a severe case of vertigo. I lost sixteen percent of hearing on one side and forty on the other side."
Matsumoto concluded: "No response yet from the White House. In New York, Gary Matsumoto, Fox News."

In his syndicated column this week for the Creator’s syndicate, MRC Chairman L. Brent Bozell ruminated:
"Imagine for a moment what would be the media reaction if this were a Republican President. Frankly, I think it impossible to overestimate the level of media outrage. Footage of these terrorists' bombings would run like a broken record. A parade of tearful family members of the victims, or the victims themselves, would be brought on the morning talk shows to share their grief and vent their anger at such an insensitive President. The pundits would openly raise questions of ruthless political pandering.
"But now they're nowhere to be found. See, there's this juicy rumor about George W., and, well...."

[k2blader]

Okay, so let me get this straight. I'm supposed to bash Clinton here but excuse President Bush for saying "he was an innovator, a serious student of policy, and a man of great compassion. In the White House, the whole nation witnessed his brilliance and mastery of detail, his persuasive power, and his persistence"?

"I'm noticing a lot of mail and bank frauds"

More striking to me at least, is the number of "possession with intent to distribute..."

[Rome2000]

W HAD to be there, his dad was there because he is a decent man, even Ford took a pass.

W would have been at a Kerry inauguration, it comes with the territory.

I think every statement W and his dad made were dripping with sarcasm and double entendres.

[SittinYonder]

Did you get this list from the Clinton Library? :-)

[Rome2000]

Not the list of pardons but the photos yes.

Somehow, both the minor league scumbags and hardcore terrorists that Clinton and his mafia pardoned don't show up at the museum or in the leftist press.

"I want the building to subliminally suggest a giant penis".

[Mo1]

There are a lot of drug dealers on that list

[pete anderson]

Interesting list. I am sure Clinton must have pardoned more people than any other president in history. I bet Clinton pardoned more people than all the other presidents combined.

[SittinYonder]

Somehow, both the minor league scumbags and hardcore terrorists that Clinton and his mafia pardoned don't show up at the museum or in the leftist press.

I guess there wasn't room in the library for this because there was so much information about how a President perjured himself and lied to the American people. [/s]

[Rome2000]

This list leaves out the child molester Mel (High Five I just raised whiteys taxes) Reynolds for some reason, Klintoon pardoned him as well.

[Rome2000]

I observed the leftist media today, fauning over the criminal SOB who has decimated their party and left the USA wide open to attack by OBL, never mind the pardons.

This is their last hurrah.

New day dawning.

Do you know Mitchell Wood? I do. Noone should comment on Clintons pardons, unless they know the facts. Mitchell was a young, good looking guy, that moved to Little Rock at the age of 23.(1969) He had the misfortune of meeting up with Dan Lassiter, a crony of Clinton, and at that time a very successful horse owner, and bond daddy doing business with the state of Arkansas.

Mitchell served his time in prison. His crime was handing out "free" drugs to Lassiters party goers. His pardon request was initiated by his boss, without his knowledge. All the proper procedures were followed. Clinton granted it, but if ever there was one that needed granting, this was the one. Mitchell is now married, a wonderful father, and a born again christian. He is a voluntary baseball and soccer coach, a wonderful example of what the Jesus Christ can do for us all.

[Rome2000]

He should start his own religion!!!
