Amnesty (from the Greek amnestia, oblivion) is a legislative or executive act by which a state restores those who may have been guilty of an offense against it to the positions of innocent persons. It includes more than pardon, in as much as it obliterates all legal remembrance of the offense.
Amnesty to the Abu Sayyaf kids is being proposed by Sen. Dick Gordon. (Read more about it here: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20090715-215499/Amnesty-urged-for-Abu-Sayyaf-kidnappers.) He really is such a… Gordon. Abu Sayyaf has been involved with kidnapping, beheading, arson, murder, etc. How can a lawmaker even consider giving them an amnesty? (Again, please refer to the definition above -- from Wikipedia, by the way, so, I am not sure how accurate the definition is.)
(Sometimes, I really can't figure out the difference between a terrorist, politician, and idiot.)

Oh wow, I can't believe he's proposing that. Perhaps, he's strategizing on his votes?
what an appropriate title. hahahahahahahah
they're approaching this in totally the way. you cannot just forget the atrocities of a group, especially those done to your people.
I'm smelling rotten politics. He's making a buzz to get noticed. The more contrversial, the more press.
