Pardon?
[Cross-posted at Airminded.]
The British contingent of the historioblogosphere has swung into action upon hearing that their government is planning to pardon over 300 soldiers executed during the First World War. I have little to add to what everyone is saying (broadly, that such a blanket pardon rides roughshod over a complex situation and seems to derive more from politics than to history -- not that this is surprising), so I'll just link to the various posts:
