(2003-12-26) Pataki Pardons Bruce

George Pataki posthumously pardoned Lenny Bruce. The Republican governor released a statement late Tuesday morning, calling the pardon "a declaration of New York's commitment to upholding the First Amendment. Freedom Of Speech is one of the greatest American liberties, and I hope this pardon serves as a reminder of the precious Freedom-s we are fighting to preserve as we continue to wage the war on terror.''
