I agree he deserves a pardon. A lot of law and public acts seem to be "signaling," e.g. it's OK to do this and not-OK to do that. Temporarily coming down hard on someone to signal that people should NOT do what he did is OK; it makes equal sense, once the threat has passed (and that specific one has been replaced by new threats), to pardon the person and recognize they were made an example of -- for good reason at the time, but no longer.
Contrast this to what they wanted to do to the hackers in the Slatella/Quitner book.
