I saw that he pardoned or commuted sentences for 14 people yesterday and the 2 border agents convicted of shooting a drug smuggler were nowhere on the list.
I thought for sure they would both be pardoned before he left office.
I sincerely hope he pardons them, or it will be (in my opinion) one of the biggest blemishes on his legacy.
I'm guessing the PP has no real clue what these two protected those of us in border states from. If I were in their shoes, I'd have done the same thing, but I'd have aimed a little higher
It's hard to say if that's true or not since he hightailed his drug-smuggling butt back across the Mexican border before he could be apprehended. Ramos and/or Compean thought they saw something that might have been a weapon. But that can't be proved or disproved because Mr. Dope Smuggler made it back across the Rio Grande. Let me just say, if I have to decide whether to take the word of two US Border Patrol Agents or a scummy drug smuggler sneaking into the US, I am going to go with the word of the Border Patrol Agents. I hardly think a perpetual drug smuggler is a trustworthy witness. Gosh, if given immunity, he might even try to smuggle in drugs in the future. Oh wait......That's exactly what he did, isn't it???? Yeah right....He's an honest, reliable sort....
When they say, "Jump!" Sutton asks, "How high?" Sadly, he asks that question in stereo with George W. Bush.

Oh that's right.....The drug smuggler himself testified under immunity that he was unarmed.
The guy was smuggling in ONE MILLION DOLLARS worth of drugs. Let's just say he has an incentive to shoot to protect his cargo. And R&C tried to report what had happened...Their superiors dropped the ball on that one and then hung them out to dry when the stuff hit the fan. Read ALL the facts, not just the selected ones Johnny Sutton likes to put out there.
As far as I'm concerned, R&C don't deserve to be wearing prison numbers on their chests. No, for shooting a career illegal alien drug smuggler in the butt, you ought to get a bright shiny medal for your chest, plus a nice bonus and a pat on the back. But prosecuted by your own government??? That's a travesty.
If Bush has one ounce of personal integrity, he will pardon these men. And someone will investigate just how deeply Johnny Sutton is in the pockets of the Mexican government.
I certainly hope President Bush pardons these men. Besides the fact that he has kept us safe from national terrorism during his tenure, this will be one of the things that would make me proud. This to me, is a no brainer, pardon these men.
I was very disappointed that Campean and Ramos were not given a pardon. These men have been in solitary confinement!
