Ok, Prs. Bush, Good job on Libby, now how about Pardoning

The interesting thing about this whole situation is that both the judge and the D.A. were both Bush appointees. The D.A. gave the illegal immunity and gave him back his van. Let's face it, Bill Clinton was the first African American president, and George W. Bush is the first Hispanic president. Viva el presidente Bush. (I think that is right).

There does seem to be an absurdity in the length of the sentences. But in the interests of completeness, it's worth mentioning that they attempted to cover up the shooting, and they were firing at an unarmed man who was running away. It is wrong that we can apparently find room in the prisons for these guys, but not for violent and dangerous criminals. But that's a seperate discussion...

Hello ParaTed, I will admit that this case is terribly baffling to me. I suspect that the smuggler must have provided sensitive information on a much bigger fish than himself. Or, perhaps he is a D.E.A. informant, of value. There must be something more to this case, because it defies logic and all legal precedent. This case is ripe for grounds for appeal ... yet the system has not worked as it normally does, or should. The prosecutor's case has been debunked. It has been proven that the prosecutor mislead the jury. The connection between the family's of the prosecutor, and the smuggler raise serious questions. There are just so many unanswered questions. Regardless of what the bigger story might be, and given the very real probability that the public will never know the whole story -- you are still right as rain, Ramos and Compean should be pardoned -- immediately!

They shot him and didn't report it! I agree the guy was a waster but I don't think it's right to honour federal policemen who will shoot an unarmed man and not tell anyone. It's just not right in a country like the US, where you're supposed to be able to look up to the authorities to do the right thing.

Thank you!!!! I can't agrea enough. It is truly a sad stae of affairs when a law enforcement agent is punished for doing whathe is asigned to do. this goes hand in hand with prosicuting soldiers for doing their job as well.
