According to the news today:

Bush pardoned 7 people today (the first seven of his presidency). They were for the most part unknown for their crimes: making unlicensed whiskey, altering an odometer, stealing copper wire...you know..unimportant crap. Anyway, one of the pardons surprised me:
_Douglas Harley Rogers of Brookfield, Wis. A Jehovah's Witnesses minister sentenced to two years in jail in 1957 for failing to report for military induction.
A nice gesture I must say. Did anyone know Douglas?
