"Mr. Clinton’s controversial end-of-term pardons—including a major drug "kingpin"—illustrate the inconsistency between Mr. Clinton’s rhetoric and his actions, according to one of the report’s authors. The Justice Policy Foundation launched a campaign to win pardons or clemency for 1,000 non-violent drug offenders on whom they had detailed research and information supporting their appeals, according to Jason Ziedenberg, co-author of the JPI report. Only 17 persons on that list were among the more than 400 last-minute pardons issued by Mr. Clinton."
