President Commutes Sentences for Ramos & Compean on Final Day of Office
U.S. Border Control [usbc@usbc.org] ^ | 01/19/2009 | Edward I. Nelson

Posted on 01/19/2009 1:03:02 PM PST by JOAT

Dear XXXX:

After making them suffer two long and painful years in solitary confinement in a maximum security prison, President Bush, on his very last day of office, having received more than five million emails, letters, postcards and telephone calls from citizens all across the country, finally commuted the sentences of Ignacio "Nacho" Ramos and Jose Compean, two brave and decorated Border Patrol agents, improperly charged with the non-crime of using a firearm as they stopped a drug dealer from bringing in more than 700 pounds of narrcotics into the U.S.

Please accept my thanks for your great effort in working for the release of these two men who can now reunite with their families and begin their lives over again.

Edward I. Nelson, Chairman Chairman U.S. Border Control 8180 Greensboro Drive, #1070 McLean, VA 22012 ednelson@usbc.org www.usbc.org

You are just wrong if you think Compean is innocent. You have obviously not read any of the testimony in the case. You would just rather believe what you hear and prove your lack of upbringing by resorting to name calling.

Okay, let me reinforce your notion about my 'lack of upbringing' and tell you to pound sand in your aforementioned orifice.

I could care less what you think on this day before the Zero Era.

Stop addressing me you < redacted >.

I don't share your opinion, duly noted.

When it comes to illegals, Hume is just as liberal as the pro-illegal fringe. His former show was a love-fest for illegals and amnesty

I do not consider border security “conservatibe fringe issue”...if Hume does, then I am sure he will fit in well during the Obama Admin...

You are not even siting the facts of the case correctly. Are you Sutton’s cousin or boyfriend? It is nice to know that folks such as you will allow this country to go to the likes of Sutton ( an admitted liar to the courts and hider of information). Don’t call for my help when your turn comes

They are free, not pardoned but free to live their lives.

The President didn't agree with our view and could have done nothing at all, so let's be thankful for this.

He heard us and at least gave them freedom. They did lie and coverup causing their own trouble.

I simply believe that law enforcement officers should uphold the law. Trials and executions are beyond the scope of their duties. Did you also know that Ramos and Compean ignored illegal border crossers? That they referred to themselves as “The Drug Shift”? I realize from your tone that your mind is made up and you can not be confused with facts. Oh well. I will pray that someone looks out for you and protects you from yourself.

I have read the documents on the case...and both Ramos and Compean were innocent of any crime.

In fact, this myth of “they didnt report the incident to superiors” is total BS, and propogated by the pro-illegal supporters. In fact, their supervisors were there immediately after the shooting (the supervisors were called on the radio) and the supvs. told Ramos and Compean to pick up their shells. It is in the investigative reports (which took forever for DOJ and DHS to release when Congress ordered them released).

Not sure if you are here just to flame, or to promote illegal alienism...but you definitely are not familiar with the case.

As do I, but these guys were absolutely railroaded for political reasons, seems everyone knows this but you and Sutton who by the way admitted to lying and falsifying information that would have let these guys go free... so save it!

Another voice crying out in the wilderness with nothing to add but inane remarks that show total ignorance of the truth. You people are really starting to bore me so I guess I’ll go feed my dog.

Yes, I know, but not cheap.

I'm so glad we have people like you watching the store.

Could you stay out there for a few hours? I think the dog likes you better.

The media in general is picking up an attitude which I haven't seen since early clinton. I think it's going to be rough sailing for a while, since 'conservative' and 'fringe' don't even belong in the same sentence in a sane conversation.

Take it easy on him, he might be looking for a job in the new administration... I don't know "Illegal Alien Czar" or something.

At least Bush has taken some sort of pity on these men who were doing their job for America.
It's a shame that Bush didn't fully pardon Ramos and Compean.
If Clinton could pardon terrorist why didn't Bush pardon these guys?

I keep reading that these two agents are in solitary confinement? Why is that? Also heard that they would most likely be let out of prison within two months. Why is that? TIA.
