Tom Tancredo and more than 50 other congressmen cited this incident as a miscarriage of justice and an egregious misuse of power. Tancredo praised the agents as courageous men "merely doing their job". He said their imprisonment would be a catastrophic blow to border enforcement and the morale of all agents. All appeals to Bush for a pardon have so far been rejected.

A pardon for these men doesn't fit in with the President's immigration agenda.

Cui bono? Perhaps some investigation into the prosecutor and/or Judge Kathleen for suborning perjury (oops, granting "immunity" for testimony) might reveal something about a sordid miscarriage of justice.

What I'd like to know is the whole story. Who persued finding the drug smuggler in Mexico, provided immunity for testimony, and for what reason?

Bush could have stopped this nonsense a long time ago if he wanted to.

Does it not seem like only those who have big $ connections seem to wrangle a pardon? ...like when Clinton was giving or selling pardons at the end of his term? Here we have a genuine miscarriage of justice that seems to be falling on deaf ears in the Bush Administration. Of course no news person will ask a question to raise the issue to the highest levels. ...plain disappointing, disheartening, and disgusting!

This is the worst miscarriage of justice to happen in America. How in the world did all this happen?

Why didn't the President pardon them immediately?
