Gross Miscarriage of Justice

I am generally a supporter of President Bush, and even when I disagree with what he does, he is the President of our country and I am always respectful of that office and title. But, today? I am angry. I am angry that he is taking far too long to respond to the ultimate travesty of justice.

I've been hearing bits and pieces about this (long video, but tells the story far more succinctly than I ever could) case for a few weeks, I guess ever since the agents were sent to prison. These agents have lost their savings, their homes, their lives. Even worse? One agent, after agreeing to be released in to the general population of a white collar, minimum security prison in Arizona, was actually transferred to a medium security prison in Mississippi with many known illegals and released into the general population where he was beaten severely by 5 other inmates, presumed to be illegals. This after the showing of America's Most Wanted. The smuggler? Suing the Border patrol for 5 million dollars.

New information was released within the last day or so that Department of Homeland Security officials actually lied about evidence used to convict these two agents. You can search for that information yourself as I cannot find a reputable news source to link. These men who were protecting out Border and doing their jobs need to be pardoned by our President and returned to their families.

I am sickened that this happened in our country, to upstanding officers who were enforcing the law. They made a small error in judgement by not reporting the situation, not something that deserved 11 and 12 years in Federal Prison! I am praying for justice to be served in this case and these men to be returned to their grieving families.
