Why did Carter pardon Oscar Collazo?
Was he pardoned? I thought he was granted executive clemency, which is rather different.
Either way, good question; I’d like to know. Wiki is mum.
according to http://www.footnote.tv/ftvww23i.html
A quarter-century later, in September 1977, President Jimmy Carter released Collazo as part of an effort to have Cuba release U.S. citizens held prisoner at the time.
