Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean

Many conservatives were hoping that President Bush would commute the prison sentences of the two former U.S. Border Patrol agents before he left office. It would have been wrong of him not do it.

Without going into all the details, I do not dispute that there was some wrong doing on the part of the agents. On the other hand, for the government and President Bush to implement screwed up liberal justice policy was far worse. They bent over backwards to protect the criminal, while making it clear that the two border patrol agents had no rights. This is not unique - it is happening to law enforcement and military personnel all the time. It will only get worse until someone squashes the liberal agenda.

I am happy for these two men who will be able to return to their families in about two months. It has been a very long and hard road. Too bad President Bush didn't have the courage to act sooner than this.
