		<description>I suspect they didnt get a full pardon from  Bush because Bush didnt want to &quot;dis&quot; his old friend Johnny Sutton.  I suspect and this is just opinion, Sutton had some input to Bush on this case.  I also suspect if Sutton had said &quot;pardon&quot; it would have been so.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You know, I am unsettled by the break in of the Ramos’ home.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The Ramos family is an embarrassment to the Mexican gangs-drug and coyote, open border advocates-white and Mexican and to the biggest Texas thug of all &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/txw/press_releases/Compean-Ramos/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Johnny Sutton&lt;/a&gt;. That Agent Ramos was put into a gang unit and allowed to be beaten unconscious at the  Yazoo Federal Prison speaks volumes of the power of that &quot;US Attorney&quot;. That Agent Ramos lived is a testament to the courage of several Federal Bureau of Prisons guards but an end to advancing their careers.

But make no mistake about it: these Mexican gangs-both local and cross border-have no qualms about attacking anybody-citizens, witnesses, police IN THIS COUNTRY. Both Arizona and Texas law enforcement are trying to fight them. The Feds, New Mexico and California are all terrified of being labeled racist if they come down too hard on the lads.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Ramos and Compean were dishonest cops?&lt;/blockquote&gt; That too speaks volumes. But Johnny Sutton is a cleaver liar who shields drug dealers to facilitate Open Borders. One Arizona Country tried to mollify the reconquista crowd by charging a local cop with murder. Jury said no.

At least Ramos and Compean get to come home but Mr. Bush had to get one more slap in and make them wait until March. Oh well, these two men did not come from money and go to Yale, did they? Perhaps if they we Saudi Oil Princes and funded terrorist Mr. Bush would be kinder.</description>

		<description>I came out of my self inflicted news vacation today just for this story.  A friend of mine filled me in on the slobbering done on Obama, and I don&#039;t think I can take another homoerotic news piece coverage of this man. Uggh, I needed a vacation.

You know, I am unsettled by the break in of the Ramos&#039; home.  I never thought that these agents should not have been punished, but the sentence was disproportionate considering how well the drug smuggler was treated.  The thing that bothers me is that the gas was left on.  This was attempted murder of the Ramos family.  Why?  It makes me wonder if there was something dirty going on.  I don&#039;t want to play devil&#039;s advocate, and as always innocent until proven guilty, but it makes me go hmmmm.  Oh well, that is just my take.</description>

		<description>Cathy B - Also, both Ramos&#039; and Compean&#039;s  wives were on The Glenn Beck show today (first day on Fox Network) they appear near the end of the hour. They also described the break in of the house.  Glad to hear JD is still on the subject down there. 
... Just FYI.

Common Sense, rightisright, etc. - maybe just a pipe dream, but how about a Jerome Corsi accounting of Ramos and Compean&#039;s story? I think he&#039;d do a good job AND he&#039;s (and other WND writers) have followed developments in the subject matter fairly well in the last couple of years.</description>

		<description>I was so very relieved to hear that on GW&#039;s last day in office he commuted their sentence, I too wish they would have been pardoned. [sigh] Ramos&#039; Father in law was on JD Hayworth&#039;s radio program (KFYI in Phoenix) apparently while his daughter and grandchildren were visiting Ramos on their weekly visits recently, their house in TX was broken into, furniture sliced up, photos off the wall, insignificant stuff was taken, weird.  They don&#039;t know if it was mexican drug cartell or mischevious teens.  JD told him that the men have alot of supporters in Phoenix and we&#039;d welcome them w/open arms!</description>

Well said tora, guess we can thank Mr. Bush for that. 
I lose more respect for GWB on a daily basis. He should not of tried to change the &lt;strong&gt;tone &lt;/strong&gt;in Washington instead read the U.S. Constitution and do as it says.</description>

I do not believe that Ramos and Compean were dishonest cops. Nothing was charged, or proven, concerning personal gain through graft or corruption. That is what constitutes a dishonest cop. 
I believe they were just pawns caught in a political game of appeasement.</description>
