Unlike those seeking a full pardon for Scooter Libby, supporters of Ramos and Compean don't seem to be too upset that their sentences were only commuted. The Center for Individual Freedom sent out an e-mail saying, "Congrats -- Ramos and Compean freed!" This WorldNetDaily story quotes WND editor-in-chief Joe Farrah saying, "Thank God for this commutation." And Congressman Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican who had been pushing for a pardon, described himself as "very grateful that President Bush has heeded the cries of the American people." The two Border Patrol agents will be released from prison on March 20.

Another Bush travesty. At least these two good men can now go home to their families. I feel relieved that these last 8 years are over.

Bush sold conservatives out on Illegal Immigration and this case by Bush's Texas friend Johnny Sutton a so called Justice Dept. person witheld evidence from the jury on Ramos and Compeon. As a conservative, I am glad this guy is going back to Texas. Can be have someone with balls to lead the conservatives now?
