Conrad Black asks George Bush for clemency

Conrad Black, the peer who once owned The Daily Telegraph, has asked for a pardon from President Bush as part of a last ditch attempt to get out of jail early.

While American presidents are often swamped with appeals for clemency in their last days of office, it is unlikely Lord Black will be heard as the American economy provides ample distraction for George W Bush, especially as he is faced with the perils of bailing out white collar workers from their bad investment decisions.
