About time, but better later than never (Border Patrol Agents sentences commuted)

What a stupid thing to be put in prison for. Shows how much amnesty our government is willing to show for illegal Mexicans, even if they're drug runners.

Our political values are so backwards that it's painful.

SH, I don't always agree with you, but on this one i do

Seems as tho both the US and Aus legal systems favour the criminal's rights over the "victim's", for want of a better word in this instance

Im always amused when the media brands these two as 'accused of a shooting'. All they did was shoot him in the ass.

Probably one of the best moves Bush has done while in office.

They did a little more than that, including trying to cover up the crime.

Should we care? The guy they shot was a drug runner illegally crossing the border from Mexico...

For trying to cover it up they deserve far longer but indeed it was way too long.

I could care less about a drug runner being shot. What I do care about is the agents being responsible and accountable. Because if they don't the bleeding hearts get more ammo to tear the defense of the border to shreds.

Screw this noise. They should have been pardoned ... free and clear.

Their only crime was capping the guy in the ass instead of the head.
