I'm as much of an advocate for rehabilitation as any federation citizen. As a cadet we're all told the story of Boothby. The ordinary guy who got abducted by Nausicaans, pressed into slavery and ended up killing the President of Earth. Where is he now? Growing flowers outside your dorm room. Yes, he's been rehabilitated. Sure, he's a great groundskeeper. He also increased the efficiency of that forced labor camp he was sold into. I just think it's creepy that we keep using his nickname. His emancipation proclamation doesn't even make sense, historically.
