#1 We didn't advise him of his right to diplomatic advice as a foreign national because we weren't allowed to ask him if he was a foreign national?
Somehow I just can't work up any sympathy..
I have an idea! Release him, barefoot, somewhere near Marathon, tell all Texas fathers where, and tell him to 'run for the border.'

#5 With citizens being killed in Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand, et al. These POS's have the time to worry about this abomination? Kill him and send his head to the Mexican gov't. Send a photo to Navi Pillay

#6 "commute" can also mean to exchange for something of equal value. So one Texan said, "Sure, we won't inject him--we'll hang him!"
