Given the secrecy and gag orders on the case, Cybercast News Service asked the union about its source for the claims about a second drug offense. "The agents, before they went to prison," said union President T.J. Bonner. "They felt free to talk without being held in contempt of court, because they were going to jail anyway."

I've been asking the opposition to provide ANY evidence of this alleged "2nd arrest". Nobody has been able to give a name of a single person who actually KNEW about this second arrest.

Now we find that the "source" for this "damning" piece of information is the two BP agents who have been convicted. And Bonner says they ignored a lawful order to remain silent on the matter in order to reveal the information.

Obviously, a statement from the two people who are trying to discredit their prosecuter is hardly "evidence". And the fact that they were not charged with contempt is pretty good evidence that there is no court order requiring their silence on the matter. And arguing that the two people who you insist are law-abiding citizens violated a lawful court order simply to smear the prosecuter is hardly a way to convince people of their truthfulness and good intentions.

This case and the details of it MUST be reviewed and debated by the American people. This is not just a local issue.

The law enforcement dampening and other effects that will result from this case will ripple throughout the entire country.

There were a LOT of people hanging their hats on this "second arrest" canard. This article might not completely sink the argument, but it's fair to say it has lost steering and is taking on water.
