Late pardons

Monday August 21, 2006
The Guardian

While we were gratified to see your leading article (August 16), this makes even more glaringly outrageous the armed forces bill moving through parliament. The bill would condemn to life in prison soldiers who refuse to be part of an occupying army. Will those who refuse in good conscience to join such forces only be pardoned after their deaths (in prison)?
