Fox News: Bush COMMUTES sentences of convicted Border Patrol agents
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 01:05 PM by brooklynite
This has been a cause celebre among conservatives. Former Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jorge Compean are serving prison terms for shooting an illegal alien smuggling marijuana, and then trying to cover up the evidence.

1. Not shocking.
The extreme right has been advocating a pardon or commutation for the last few years.

5. Yes. The family asked for commutation.... no pardon as that would imply guilt.
