Scooter Scoots while Ramos and Campean Sit in Jail

As I read President Bush's comments to justify his commutation of Scooter Libbey's sentence, I was bemused by his declaration that as a "first time offender we must balance his crime against a life-long public service...yadayadayada". Does that description not fit Border Agents Ramos and Campean?

Could you not also add, having risked their lives for the public good? I agree that the Scooter lynching was a politically motivated affair. Of course, we'll probably learn what else lies behind (pun intended) the slimy VP's door. I can also agree with the President that some of the sentence was excessive (3yrs). However, Ramos and Campean both got 10 years for shooting an illegal border crossing drug runner in the a##.

GWB needs to find a little more ink in that commutation pen and a lot more love in his heart for two men placed in the most confusing of circumstances...sworn to fulfill their duties while you attempted to make their job irrelevant.
