Liz:
Your impassioned summation of Leonard Peltier's situation is persuasive and compassionate in the extreme.
Please note there is significantly less warfare going on since Obama took office than there was before and he is trying to wind down the second front (Afghanistan). As for his position on Leonard Peltier, I do not believe Obama lacks the compassion necessary to act, but I suspect he has been focused on louder and more urgent or important issues.
I would like to see Peltier's sentence suspended and see him freed, myself.
