Just as in Katrina, when any government agency blows it big time, the administration is at the top. Harry Truman, "The buck stops here." (and I'm as Republican as the come but I'm also a conservative and these things are neither - time to clean out he foxes from the hen houses.
Doesn't mean impeachment but Bush needs to step to the microphone immediately and declare, that anyone, anyone hindering border security/prosecuting Border Agents who are doing their jobs that they are hired for, especially those in Homeland Security who find it necessary to lie in order to stop Border Patrol agents from "patrolling our borders, will be charged with a felony and can expect long prison terms, if found guilty.)
I like your idea. I'd be happy with a pardon, assuming as I do, that it may very well be warranted, and a few heads to roll if indeed these reports of malfeasance are true.
