Ramos and Compean paid a high price for violating Bush’s “compassionate conservatism”.
Ramos paid the price. I hope Compean is enjoying his new career as an unarmed mall cop.
I checked on my about page and noted my New Years wishes for 2009. One was for Conrad Black to be returned to Canada from his American jail. The other was for the two border agents to be returned to their families. These wishes were granted and Conrad Black had to wait longer though.
I put a heartfelt "thanks" shortly after on my remarks and then did a bit of checking. It was George W Bush himself that pardoned the two men. I now have mixed feelings cos' I shouted a "God bless" to the world at the time. Now it seems W has to bear some blame according to some posts. Always liked this president.
I do pray these good men are now well and truly settled in their lives.
