Well you know I've read of several stories about BP agents being arrested for drug smuggling, human smuggling, etc. I don't necessarily trust someone completely just because of their job title. They do not walk on water automatically. A jury heard the evidence, and found them guilty. Why should I second-guess them??? The illegal immigration issue aside, it's quite likely that they did F up and now they're paying the price. If you want to be upset about something, get upset about the congress passing these mandatory sentences. I'm sure the judge would have liked to give them a lighter sentence but couldn't.

Based on your first post, you implied that NO Border Patrol agents should be trusted because their union is affiliated with the AFL-CIO. Do you retract that now?

Yeah, I agree. Juries know everything. They never, ever make mistakes. Everyone convicted by them is guilty as sin, everyone acquitted is innocent as a newborn baby, and anyone who raises questions should be ignored.

Oops, scuse me, I gotta run -- I gotta drop off my kids at Neverland Ranch. I got a date with this hot blonde chick who used to date O.J.
