"A Brief For Amnesty: Something Decent For a Change" by Ramsey Clark

This article was written by Clark, who was the U.S. Attorney General under the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson. In it, Clark points out that the Vietnam War left deep wounds for both Southeast Asians and Americans, including many young men punished for resisting the draft, deserting, or receiving less-than-honorable discharges. Clark explains that these men, along with their families, still suffer from stigma, lost opportunities, and exile. He calls for full and unconditional amnesty.
