And it will.

We'd never define "blanket" pardon. Face it, anyone who thinks that Russia pre-emptively attacked Georgia isn't speaking the same language, or using words in the same way as do I.

I would guess that 99% of the world would agree that the US tortures people. It doesn't, or instance, fly them to secret camps in Europe or turn them over to Syrians and Egyptians for the diet. And yet you say the US doesn't torture. (Even while admitting the US does torture.)

Too big a gulf in the way words are used to put any money in. I have the sense Bush could use his Presidential powers to forgive the transgressions of a wool comforter and you'd deny it was a blanket pardon.
