I'd much rather see them exonerated than pardoned. While a pardon would be expedient, it still carries the taint of guilt. A pardon would also allow all of the other deeds to be swept under the rug--the overzealous prosecution, lies from the OIG, etc. I want these people investigated and prosecuted! Unless they clean this up, the border patrol will be neutered from doing their jobs, for fear of their own government!

Okay... I'm off my soapbox, lol. I agree... digging for facts is the name of the game. I certainly never expect to find them in a Navarrette article, though. LOL.

Agreed, exoneration is preferable to a pardon, just as long as they are protected during the process, so they live to enjoy it.

They should also be moved closer to home in the meantime, so it is not such a burden upon their family's to visit them.

LOL! I never before read a Navarrette article, but just this once convinces me that looking for facts in his articles is a waste of time.
