Yes, Pete, he can grant him clemency in an instant...Clinton WAS going to do this but the FBI threatened a countrywide strike. They probably also threatened Clinton too, being that they have files on everyone of importance..(to be used at a later date, I've no doubt)

'Who Is Leonard Peltier ' - Official Site for Leonard

This very new video is BRILLIANT!! So much information here:
New & Excellent 'Deomcracy Now' interview with Peter Coyote on Leonard Peltier

There is NO evidence to convict Leonard of killing either of the agents. Myrtle Poor Bear, on whose testimony he was extradited from Canada, was threatened by the FBI that she would have her child taken away from her unless she said what they wanted..

Also, please do not take ANY notice of a site called 'No Parole Peltier' as this is run by Ed Woods, retired FBI agent. He, and a small group of other retired agents and their supporters spread many lies and much confusion about this case all over the internet...They also seek to use the FBI COINTELPRO tactics of 'neutralizing' Leonard's reputation. They took full page adverts out in major papers when Clinton was thinking of releasing him...It is one of the most horrendous miscarriages of justice and this man has sat in prison for nearly 40 years now!

In all this time, Leonard has refused to turn his face to the wall, doing all he can to help his People, raising awareness of Native American issues and problems...

Personally, I have NO idea how he keeps sane. He's also, throughout this time, been beaten, survived an assasinaton attempt, been moved thousands of miles away from his family, friends and legal team..and has spent many months in Solitary, the last time being just last year, for four months, in searing heat, being fed just ONCE a day (he's diabetic, severely so)..after being found to have a £20 note in his cell. It had come from a lady in Scotland, who'd put it in her letter to him. ALL mail is checked by the staff before being given to prisoners, ALL mail...Make of that what you will....You'll find a former prison guard on Youtube also talking about Leonard's time in Solitary, saying how badly he's so often treated.....
