Bush Slammed as Border Patrol Agents Begin Prison Terms

- As two U.S. Border Patrol agents surrendered to federal marshals
Wednesday afternoon to begin serving more than a decade in jail for
shooting an illegal drug smuggler, a federal lawmaker and conservative
advocacy group expressed outrage at President Bush for not pardoning
the men.
"This is the worst betrayal of American defenders I have ever seen," Rep. Dana Rohrabacher said of the president.
"It's shameful this was done by someone who is in the Republican Party," the California Republican added in comments coinciding with the jailing of agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.
Rohrabacher said Bush “obviously
thinks more about his agreements with Mexico than the lives of American
people and backing up his defenders.”

Either someone already posted this or people just aren't interested in the fact that our government just sent border patrol agents to prison for protecting our border from CIA....I mean dope smugglers. I'm severely confused as to why these men are going to prison. Alarm bells should be going off in this country. It is becoming the greatest fall of a kingdom, man has ever, or will ever see.
