As Thanksgiving approaches, I’ve got a suggestion for President Barack Obama.
Instead of following the White House tradition and “pardoning“ a turkey destined for a holiday dinner table, Obama should extend that courtesy to some of the thousands of human beings caged up in America’s federal prisons.
Leonard Peltier should be one of them.
