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.
BUMP!
I’ll miss President Bush. I’m wearing my Bush-Cheney hat all this week just to annoy people.
Commuted sentence??? I think this ltill leaves them as convicted fellons with no right to own fire arms, vote or work in law enforcement.
Well its about time!!! Been praying for those two since this started.
I was hoping for full pardons, but I’ll take this over nothing.
YES!
Look for the Obanassiah one up President Bush by pardoning Ramos and Compean over the top of Bush’s commutation very soon after the immaculation.
Are they out yet?
Not until March 20. Why not today?
Give them an opportunity to get their jobs back with full back pay, or infact just give them back pay, with NO criminal record. Try that one George!
Better late than never!
Snort — the DEMs will make sure they have the right to vote, along with the millions of illegals that they tried to prevent from entering the country!
When I click on the link to the page there is NOTHING about a commutation. The last article is 1/18/09.
What a coward. The least he could have done was pardon the guys and get rid of the offense. His boy Sutton is one of the most loathsome creatures on the planet ( may an illegal do horrible things to his family and then piss down his throat)

Interesting he did it on his last day in office.At least they’ll get out.
