Eric Holder just defended Bill Clinton's clemencies of 16 members of the FALN Puerto Rican terrorist group as "reasonable." He said that it was a "difficult decision that the president had" because though they were terrorists and criminals, they had been in prison for a long time, they weren't convicted of killing, and their clemency was supported by the likes of Jimmy Carter, Coretta Scott King, and Desmond Tutu.
