Commutation!

I heard this on Rush at the top of the hour and found it at Fox News when I returned:

On his last full day in office, President Bush commuted the sentences of two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican drug runner in 2005.

The imprisonment of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean had sparked outcry from critics who said the two were just doing their jobs. They had been sentenced to 11- and 12-year sentences, respectively.

Their prison sentences will now expire on March 20 of this year.

More as I find it.

I just wish they’d get released tonight instead of two months from now.

When Bush did the pardons and commutations, most recently, I was so upset that these two gentlemen were not part of that list. I’m glad the president’s heart was moved to do the right thing.
