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.

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

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 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.
