That one act will invalidate anything, forever?

Strikes me that Colson represents exactly what prison is supposed to do - redeem someone and change their life for the better.

If Mr. Colson were unrepentant, or in denial (as in the caricature that is OJ Simpson, for example) I would be with you (and I suspect that no medal would have been awarded, either).

But this is a medal recognizing what he's accomplished since then - and, as I said, he's accepted responsibility for his actions, and paid the specfied price.

Clearly, your mileage varies.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/the_presidentia.html#comment-81392 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/the_presidentia.html#comment-81392 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:07:40 -0600

He is a very nice guy besides doing all that he has done. She was not a nice person on the show and had to slap Sinise. They had a tough time keeping in character. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/the_presidentia.html#comment-81389 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/the_presidentia.html#comment-81389 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:12:10 -0600 Yes, Fishmugger, it is. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/the_presidentia.html#comment-81388 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/the_presidentia.html#comment-81388 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:05:14 -0600
