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.
