Well, while we're at it, we should probably pardon Columbus, too; he's taken a bit of a drubbing in the revisions of history in the last five years. Oh, and if being legendary qualifies, we should get busy on the case law surrounding a few others -- Bruno Hauptman, the Rosenbaums, that Texas loonie who started a grand tradition by climbing the clock tower with his .22, maybe Jim Jones, Jack Ruby and his victim, oh, and let's pardon John Wilkes Booth, and maybe that Schikelgruber fella who used to hang wallpaper over in Vienna; and if we're really going to set a precedent here, can some one dig up the file on Rasputin, Alexander, Genghis Khan, and that ne'er-do-well who plugged Wild Bill Hickok during an innocent poker game?

Sheesh.
