In one of his final acts as President, George W. Bush commuted the prison sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, two US Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican drug dealer.Overzealous US Attorney and Prosecutor Johnny Sutton won the case against these men, convicting these two agents of primarily covering up information related to the shooting in the ass of the supposedly unarmed drug dealer as he fled across the Rio Grande River. As Dana Rohrabacher, R-CA, accurately assessed, Compean and Ramos were "unjustly convicted men who never should have been prosecuted in the first place." Amen to that.
Since I believe drug dealers are financing our opponents in the Global War on Terror, I wish they had killed the drug runner. In this unfortunate time of political correctness, we seem to want to favor criminals over our own patriots who risk their lives to protect our freedoms.
The case has been a hot potato since these men were imprisoned, burning up talk radio airwaves. In the time following their imprisonment, in solitary confinement I might add, the families of these men have been devastated, financially and emotionally. I know President Bush to be a fine man and I had sincerely hoped he would make this move. This was absolutely the right decision in my view. Thank You President Bush.
