Pardon Ramos and Compean, Mr. President

President Bush gave a farewell address to the nation Thursday night, stressing what is good about America. He invited about 40 heroes to attend the speech, the first time a president has done it for a farewell address.

The President reminded us that good and evil are present in the world, and "between the two, there can be no compromise." Is there any doubt that this president "always acted with the best interests of our country in mind?

And, yes, Mr. President, "America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil." Part of the reason for that, Mr. President, is due to the hard work and courage of border agents like Ramos and Compean. Pardon them, Mr. President, and it will be much easier for us to pardon you for the mistakes you made while trying to protect our best interests.

I second that motion. Damn travesty of justice that can be easily remedied.

I keep wondering if there's more to the story than we know. Because it certainly seems from the facts we have that pardoning them is the right thing to do.
