If President Bush can commute the 2 year sentence of Scooter Libby, given for his role in the leaking of the identity of a CIA operative, Valerie Plame, he could certainly accompany that with a pardon for Border Patrol agents Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos, who were sentenced to 11 and 12 years in federal prison, respectively, for wounding a drug smuggler who was bringing 750 pounds of drugs across the border from Mexico.

It should be increasingly clear that President & Co., as well as many congressmen have no intention of stopping the influx of illegal immigrants, and are sending a message to the border patrol to back off on enforcement.  He has conveyed this message in other ways as well. Libby's treasonous conduct in blowing the cover of Mrs. Plame appears as retaliation for her part in the exposure of lies leading to the Iraq invasion.
