The list so far:
Leslie Owen Collier of Charleston, Mo. She was convicted for unauthorized use of a pesticide and violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
_Milton Kirk Cordes of Rapid City, S.D. Cordes was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, which prohibits importation into the country of wildlife taken in violation of conservation laws.
_Richard Micheal Culpepper of Mahomet, Ill., who was convicted of making false statements to the federal government.
_Brenda Jean Dolenz-Helmer of Fort Worth, Texas, for reporting or helping cover up a crime.
_Andrew Foster Harley of Falls Church, Va. Harley was convicted of wrongful use and distribution of marijuana and cocaine.
_Obie Gene Helton of Rossville, Ga., whose offense was unauthorized acquisition of food stamps.

Bush also commuted the prison sentences of John Edward Forte of North Brunswick, N.J., and James Russell Harris of Detroit, Mich. Both were convicted of cocaine offenses.
they way it read on the AP site was that list was as of march 2008 ...the names are not released yet. I’m praying for ramos and compean that they wil be home for thanksgiving.
This is a stupid tradition.
Holding your breath?
Not pardoning the border guards is criminal in itself.
Looks like he mostly pardoned druggies with a few that lied to the government.
Those poor guys from the Border Patrol got screwed and it’s no wonder the Border Patrol cannot keep up their staffing levels. If they do a good job they get screwed.
If he’s concerned about drug offenses, he could have done something about the failed war on some drugs while in office. Something besides arresting dying cancer patients for consuming a plant, I mean.
I’m sure that Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean would love to eat Turkey with their families. Come on President Bush...
Bush is more likely to pardon Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila than Ramos/Compean.
I was hoping the Border Agents would be on the list.
Bush is stubborn and this just has to be personal with him. He's not the same man I voted for...twice.
sw
I could tell you without looking that two names are missing.
Do it, President Bush, do it!!
I’ll make a wild guess that Obama will at some point issue a pardon to the cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

I want to see the Border Patrol pardons AND Scooter Libby.
I would be very surprised to see any noteworthy pardons until the Georgia Senate Runoff has been decided.
Campean?
Ramos?
I thought not.
Why is it so hard for Dubya to admit he screwed up?
Why is it so hard for him to admit his “friends” are idiots, crooks, or worse?
At least we know Bush won’t be selling pardons a la Clinton.
