And what's even more amazing, is how the whole story with the missing plane, and what happened to the pilot, is now a non issue.

Talk about getting swept under the rug. I wonder when this guy will be in the news again?

Now here's a nice story. Remember how earlier in the thread it was suggested that perhaps those more deserving of a pardon than those who received one, were those prisoners who had served their sentence but were still in jail because they couldn't afford to pay their fines? Luis Alvarez Renta and Fabio Ruiz working with the Najayo Improvement Committee have organised funds through private donations to release 50 such prisoners, all of whose crimes were minor ones. Thus far 45 have been released.
