Bush Commutes Sentences for Two Former Border Patrol Agents
Former President George Bush set things right by commuting their sentence right at the end of his term.
On his last full day in office, President Bush commuted the controversial sentences of two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican drug runner in 2005. The imprisonment of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean had sparked outcry from critics who said the men were just doing their jobs and were punished too harshly. They had been sentenced to 11- and 12-year sentences, respectively.Let's hope they earn some decent compensation from the inevitable TV appearances, and get their jobs back, if they want them.
