The really scary thing is that it doesn't seem all that far fetched for the GW crowd these days.
IMHO, the investigation, if carried up the food chain, will find high ranking U.S. public officials in bed with Mexican drug runners.
I wish Tony Snow had been a little more strong and said something to the effect that the President considers it a major breach of trust for Federal officials to knowingly make false statements to Congress and that those who do so will be prosecuted. By saying that Mr. Skinner will have to answer for characterizations he's made one gets the impression that he will be allowed to "explain" the inconsistency and all will be well.
"high ranking U.S. public officials in bed with Mexican drug runners"
Hey, I guess it is okay now for Presidents to be associated with drug lords. Remember, Bill Clinton pardoned one who was not yet even convicted!
"Homeland Security Inspector General Robert Skinner's"
Just another government employee who is above us normal citizens.

That was my first thought as well! We have a LOT of snow here in Indiana.
IMHO President Bush's abandonment of our southern border is being done in cooperation with -- in fact is driving -- plans to forcibly join America, Mexico and Canada into the next "EU".
Border Patrol agents are being forced to stand down.
Our border is being abandoned.
Unfortunately, this process is also destroying the Republican party in America.
Imagine what this will lead to -- a socialist conglomerate of Mexican drug corruption, Candian leftism, and the American hard left, ruling over our hemisphere.
Thanks Mr. President.
The question remains --will the government that cut a deal with the Mexican Consulate --to send men to prison on false charges --then lied to Congress about their testimony--will the governement truely hold its own people
accountable? Or is it the fox gaurding the henhouse?
Losing confidence with the govt., its officials and especially the legal system.
I just came back in the house after plowing out two neighbors' driveways and my own, about 15 inches of dense snow, and we're only a quarter of the way into the storm so far....
QUAGMIRE !!!
BUSH'S FAULT !!!
Just checking in from the City of Evil...
I saw the "Snow: Officials will be held accountable" headline and I thought, no way! When has a GS, SES, or appointed government employee ever been held accountable -- except for a whistle blower or someone questioning the doings of the government.
I was right. Looks like Homeland Security Inspector General Robert Skinner done lost his independence. Go directly to jail, do not collect . . . .
Let me translate that: "They will be reprimanded for not telling a more believable lie to Congress, especially Skinner who failed in his mission to keep the lie spinning and Congress and the American people mesmerized with D.C speak and the bureaucratic two-step."
I do believe that \this whole border incident and the Jailing of the two agents is in line with George Bush's Open Border policy .
" Take a Mex to lunch"
Prosecutor Sutton seems to have used Lies and false statements to convict these men and if they are Killed in prison Sutton should be tried and convicted for murder.
ie: "they shot the Smuggler in the Back", if that is true then how come the bullet went thru his left hip through his urethra into his right hip???
I've seen enough CSI programs to be able to simulate the path of the bullet, especially if Emily Procter from CSI Miami will help me.
That's what you get for nominating an "electable" RINO. If we nominate Rudy McRomney he'll finish the job.
Well, that's certainly ambiguous enough.
Is that statement altogether true, and my question is whether these fabrications resonated in the trial itself.
That definitely would have set a better standard.
