Freedom for Leonard so he can refute these ridiculous charges: "The circumstantial evidence presented at the extradition hearing, taken alone [without the Poor Bear affidavits], constituted sufficient evidence to justify Mr. Peltier's committal on the two murder charges." Anne McLellen, Canadian Minister of Justice, in a letter to Attorney General Janet Reno, October 12, 1999. ?The two witnesses testified outside the presence of the jury that after their testimony at trial, they had been threatened by Peltier himself that if they did not return to court and testify that their earlier testimony had been induced by F.B.I. threats, their lives would be in danger.? United States v. Peltier, 585 F. 2d 314, U.S. App. Decision September 14, 1978. "There is no doubt that in June 1975 Leonard Peltier put a loaded gun in my mother's mouth during one of her interrogations and that six months later, other members of the American Indian Movement carried out my mother's torture, rape and murder. Leonard knows a lot about the people involved but even today, after all these years, he refuses to cooperate in the on-going murder investigation." Denise Maloney, daughter of AIM murder victim Anna Mae Pictou Aquash (Mi'kmaq) "This story that the government admitted they don't know who shot the agents comes from an out-of-context quote from prosecutor Lynn Crooks. Let me tell you something. I know Lynn Crooks, and there is no one on the planet more convinced of Peltier's guilt than Lynn Crooks." John M. Trimbach, American Indian Mafia Mark Potter: ?Did you fire at those agents, Coler and Williams? Leonard Peltier: ?I shot in their direction, yes.? CNN interview, Oct 1999. Later in the interview, Peltier admits he was near the two dead agents. "When all is said and done, however, a few simple but very important facts remain. The casing introduced into evidence in fact had been extracted from the Wichita AR-15. This point was not disputed." Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, Feb 1986, finding of fact that the shell casing found at the murder scene was ejected from the AR-15 carried by Peltier. ?The motherf---er was begging for his life but I shot him anyway.? Sworn testimony attributed to Leonard Peltier, boasting in the Marlon Brando motor home about shooting Ron Williams, as heard by Dennis Banks, Ka-Mook Banks, Bernie Lafferty, and (soon-to-be-murdered) Anna Mae Aquash. According to the autopsy report, Ron Williams died with his right hand held up in front of his face; there were powder burns on his fingers. "... the greater probability is that you yourself fired the fatal shots... It would be unjust to treat the slaying of these F.B.I. agents, while they lay wounded and helpless, as if your actions had been part of a gun battle. Neither the state of relations between Native American militants and law enforcement at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation prior to June 26, 1975, nor the exchanges of gunfire between individuals at the Jumping BREPORT COMMENTS

REQUEST FOR EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY FOR LEONARD PELTIER #89637-132 Leonard Peltier needs some true freedom and fresh air before he leaves this world. The Facts of The Siege at Wounded Knee are what they are, government employees, Native Americans, "goons", the fbi, and people that got murdered on both sides of the camp, plus who got idicted, imprisoned, investigated, "proven" guilty, and who didn't. 40 years imprisoned is long enough.
