- Summary
- "Each Thanksgiving, the President of the United States pardons a turkey from the fate of serving as the holiday dinner. In this pamphlet, Magnus Fiskesjo uncovers the hidden horrors of the power of the pardon - not only of the turkey, but the beloved teddy bear. It is through these ritualized acts of mercy, Fiskesjo shows, that we might come to understand the exceptional and troubling status of the "war on terror" prisoners being held by the United States at Guantanamo."--BOOK JACKET.
