That is related to his personal attitude to compassion and to his republican values and to his family values.<BR/><BR/>But George Bush failed by not having the courage to go against the mainstream, nor against powerful politicans in his party. The courage Ryan had when he closed death row in Illinois exceeds that of George Bush. This Bush will have to live with now. He had the possibility and failed to use it.<BR/><BR/>Ryan is today a human being in need of compassion, but he is also a true real justice advocate who was trying to fix the broken US justice system, where innocents are imprisoned and where flaws happen every day. For doing this, he was crushed by his party and then increasingly crushed by the democrats, who needed a scapegoat to attack the republicans on the general Illinois corrupt policy situation - a system well known in both parties and a system still exisiting in Illinois, but even worse in other states still.<BR/>For his heroic stand against the death penalty Ryan was crushed by the same flawed justice system he was trying to fix.<BR/><BR/>He became lonely in his personal striving for real human rights, not only words.<BR/><BR/>Ryan was used as the scapegoat for other politicans in wish of more power. Ryan personally is quite another person. He is a person of great wisdom and patience, and he loves his wife and his family and more than this, he cares about human right and values, and he understands that abolishing the the death penalty in this world has an international perspective, broader than the dirty local Illinois quarelling policy by all the american doubletalkers, who have failed all the way.<BR/><BR/>if Obama will survive and follow and keep his inner love, we dont know yet, but he is worth being given a chance to show his real human values.<BR/><BR/>George Ryan will not be broken down, even if he is living a hard and terrible life right now, because he dared to stand up for human right and show the way for US and the world. He will emotionally survive, because he has an inside spirit of light and he knows that he is suffering for his courageous acts to try to fix a broken system - a system that I personally dont think cannot be fixed, but has to be ended. But he is the hero because he tried to live up to a greater vision, and he dared to stand up alone, while all the other american cowards were hiding and sleeping, hoping for personal power.<BR/><BR/>George Ryan has started a process, that will never die. Hopefully Obama can see this too.<BR/><BR/>SisselAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-586914322065730371.post-28696873791437552812009-01-24T01:24:00.000-06:002009-01-24T01:24:00.000-06:00I speculated that Bush would give classified pardo...I speculated that Bush would give classified pardons.<BR/><BR/>I don't see any reason he wouldn't do this on issues pertaining to torture.<BR/><BR/>The pardoned get letters saying they are pardoned that they can invoke if and when they are prosecuted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
