President Obama did the right thing regarding General James Cartwright and Chelsea Manning. Manning did a terrible thing in divulging American Secrets. On the other hand she has already served 7 long hard years behind bars.
General Cartwright did something that was technically wrong a crime although he has a legion of company in DC in terms of leakers. And he served his country long and honorably.
The president has in his Constitutional Powers the right to pardon people serving prison sentences. He has exercised that power in a reasonable fashion in my opinion.
About to go on Tucker Carlson's hit program on Fox News. I'll be there at about 9:45 p.m. eastern time this evening. I'm sure it will be feisty and confrontational as always with my pal Tucker. We even argue about who has the better hair.
