Further proof that prison isn't really about rehabilitation:

After studying the evidence, searching the history, listening to the arguments and wrestling with the profound consequences, I could find no justification for granting clemency.

Sure Arnie, I believe you.

I also love the way the CBC.ca story casts doubt on the worth of the cause with a single sentence:

The 51-year-old has become a high-profile case due to the intervention of celebrities, who say he should live because of all the good works he's done since being sentenced to death in 1981.

I think that we can now officially call bullshit on Harper's whining about the CBC's liberal bias.
