President Bush apparently heard and has now answered the calls by many conservatives to pardon Ramos and Compean, the two border patrol agents doing a ten year stretch for shooting a drug smuggler in the ass on the border.

However, instead of a full pardon the president decided to give a commutation to each of the men. He wanted to recognize that crimes were committed in this case and a jury found them guilty. But the sentences for each of the men were too draconian — a sentiment that even the prosecutor who put them away shared.

By commuting the sentences of the two men, they will in effect be given credit for time served and will be released on March 20th.

I wrote yesterday that I think John Walker Lindh’s parents have a lot of nerve to keep asking president Bush to pardon their son. In my opinion, Lindh had his pardon when he was allowed to live.

Today, Michelle explains better than I ever could exactly why John Walker Lindh deserves nothing but scorn.

The parents of convicted American Taliban member John Walker Lindh are once again begging president Bush to pardon their son. They actually have the nerve to say he deserves leniency for his crimes and should be set free.

The way I see it, Lindh has already been given leniency, because he’s still alive. He is a traitor to this country and should have been executed.
