Leonard Peltier

I don't know much about this other than seeing bumperstickers about it years ago.  Lately I've read he's the only person imprisoned -- under dubious circumstances -- after some shootout in the 70s or 80s that killed some FBI agents.  I vaguely recall hearing an FBI agent refer to AIM (American Indian Movement) as "Assholes in Moccasins" but he might have been biased. 

I could google it and all but was wondering if anyone had any particularly interesting info about all this.

I remember there being some hope that Clinton would pardon Peltier at the end of his second term.  

I first learned of Leonard Peltier from the masterpiece of 90s political hip-hop, Tricks of the Shade by The Goats.
