I agree with you. The drug smugglers wounds, assuming he received any this side of the border,IMHO were on a par with the rice grain wounds to the cheeks of John Kerry's @$$ for which he received one of his purple hearts.

I just wanted to get that fact about how Gov employees who carry weapons are always trained to police up the brass after firing their weapons, for all those who see this act as evidence they were trying to cover up a crime.

I see what is happening to Ramos and Compean for daring to do their job,as an example of the power wielded by the border scum on both sides of the Rio Grande. The fact that these gentlemen have been imprisoned in places where they are least likely to survive, has rational people wondering just how high up the ladder of influence has drug money bought the drug cartels?

Interesting--thanks for posting. I remember reading (I think) that Compean said something like "it was reflex"... or habit... and that it was his common practice when at the shooting range to pick up his spent casings. It is also interesting to note that after 5 years on the job, Compean had never shot at anyone before this incident.

I tried to find where I read that, to no avail.
