Every September 11th should be a national day of remembrance. One aspect of this day would be for the President to hand out special Sept. 11th pardons, as an act of mercy. Murderers, child molesters, non-citizens and repeat offenders would not be eligible and all pardons should be screened by the Department of Justice, in order to avoid Clinton-like corruption of the process. There are plenty of non-violent drug offenders that could be released. For the 5th anniversary of the massacre, the number of pardons should equal the number of Americans murdered on 9/11. This extraordinary act would speak volumes to people around the world as well as free up space in the jails for violent criminals.
