Bush seems to like helping druggies out, while two innocent men still sit in prison for doing their jobs.

Bush seems to like helping druggies out...You should take a look at Clinton's pardon list. He probably got some hefty 'severance pay' on his way out the door.
does the convicted person write to him and ask for a pardon?...does someone who works in the white house look through court documents for cases to put before him to consider giving a pardon?
and i`ll assume that if you get a pardon you would get back all rights and entitlements of citizenship..plese correct me if i`m wrong though.
we don`t have anything like this system here at all except at any time, anyone who is in prison can make representation to the govenor of the state they live in for a pardon, but i can`t ever remember anyone getting one...
Also seems to be past history.
Why bother??

It's absolutely distugisting that he did not pardon the border agents
Many also seem to have forgotten that 16 of his pardons/commutations were to members of the terrorist group FALN who had been convicted of over 100 bombings in the US. What a big hearted guy.
