      President Bush commutes sentences of Border Agents Ramos and Compean.

WASHINGTON – In his final acts of clemency, President George W. Bush on Monday granted early prison releases to two former U.S. Border Patrol agents whose convictions for shooting a Mexican drug dealer fueled the national debate over illegal immigration.
 
      The way things are going with the drug-dealers in Mexico, I think a full pardon would have sent a better message, but I'm glad these men will be going home to their families.

I was hoping for this one. This was a good call on W's part. Finally a president that doesn't make a mockery of the whole lame duck pardon process.



SilverMark -> RE: Better than nothing (1/20/2009 2:42:40 AM)

Even I agree with Bush on this one!...



corysub -> RE: Better than nothing (1/20/2009 2:44:52 AM)

Finally!   This is one I really wanted to see happen.

well his shining achievement that will be cherished by ME- is him moving daylight savings time.

I disagree with Bush. They only shot the guy in the ass. There by creating another ass hole.

I'm glad he did this.  I just don't understand why they will not be released until March?  Why not commute their sentence so they get released now?  What difference would it make?

I don;t get this either.

I don't know about this. It just kind of bothers me that we are letting loose two police officers who falsified evidence...whoever the bad guy is.

The government paid alot of money for testimony to convict them. If they were so in the wrong, why ?
