Senate committee to probe Border agent sentences

Justified ... but, it's also an attack on Gonzales and part of the wrangling over Congress vs the White House

#3  "Border Patrol agents have a difficult and often dangerous job in guarding our nation's borders," she [Feinstein] said in letters to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "I believe that aggressive prosecution of Border Patrol agents has a chilling effect on their ability to carry out their duties and on the morale of all agents.

I'm surprised she even said this. Let the guys go. I thought there was a long-standing tradition of shooting drug dealers in the buttocks--at least there should be. Everyone bellyaches about the "drug problem" in this country. Well these guys did something positive about it. Stop the drug problem; shoot a drug dealer would make a good bumper sticker to put on cars.

#1  Since DHS has previously lied to Congress regarding this matter, Chertoff's credibility will start at zero and go down from there. Johnny Sutton, the prosecutor, should be fired right after the two overdue pardons are finally issued.
