AIM Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier Has Diabetes - Needs Immediate Help!

[Bobbieo]

“We're asking that Leonard be allowed to have his own kit at the prison pharmacy for accurate readings, as well as easy and regular access. In this way, he'll be able to test himself three or four times a day and hopefully achieve a balanced blood glucose level”

1. Why can't they set him free?

[Bobbieo]

2. His hearing comes up again in December - Bush can free him!!!

Clinton had the chance and blew it!!!

3. Because he's a convicted murderer maybe.

Every appeal and lawsuit has returned the same result, he killed 2 people and was convicted.

[Bobbieo]

4. I know he was convicted BUT it is debatable that he killed two people!!!

There was more than one person there at the scene

5. He and others killed two people

So he should be let go because the other murderers avoided justice?

[Bobbieo]

6. How about "Yes"!!!!! I do believe it was determined that only one

person fired the shots and if it wasn't him.

7. Educate yourself on this case....with open eyes

You know very very little, it appears

[Bobbieo]

8. On the contrary . I have spent many years researching this case.

Depends on which side you are on. Kinda like Hillary and Obama

[hlthe2b]

9. Even if you take his guilt as fact, he has served far more time

than those serving for comparable crimes. Far, far, far more. The underlying racial bigotry around this case is telling.

Oh, and Bobbie O, you seem to have mistaken my response to Ben_Meyers as directed to you. It was directly in response to his flippant "because he is a convicted murderer" comment. Something that I do not agree with, and, it seems, neither do you. It seems that you are arguing with someone who is taking YOUR stance as well....As they say in debate classes, make sure of who you are arguing with so that you don't dilute your own argument. :shrug:

[Bobbieo]

10. Isn't amazing that the is my point in the first place!!! HE HAS SERVED HIS TIME - LET HIM GO!!!!

[hlthe2b]

11. Absolutely.... Clinton should have pardoned him....

That he did not is among those things I will forever hold against him...

[Bobbieo]

12. hlthe2b = Have you ever noticed this happens alot on DU. Half the time no one knows

who they are arguing with. It is not a point of debate, it is a point of who is arguing with who or whom or whatever and the placement of the argument on the forum. The person is seldom named !!!!

No - I will never forgive Bill Clinton for that. He gave into the FBI amid apparently pissed off a great many Hollywood people, too. Think he paid for it!

[hlthe2b]

13. And then there are days (like today)...

when I feel overwhelming confusion from the moment I step out of bed....:crazy:
