communities. Their jail terms should have been no longer than 6 months.

Sutton acknowledged as much during his PR campaign on one of the news shows, He said "reasonable people could disagree" on the length of the agents' sentences. He certainly got the attention of some members of Congress.

It's clear to me that the merciless, heavy-handed prosecution of Ramos and Compean was politically motivated, directed by someone high up in the Bush Administration, perhaps even Bush himself. The message is crystal clear: Hands off illegals, even criminals, or go to jail. The Administration is pursuing the Security and Prosperity Partnership with Mexico and Canada, and obviously does not want to rankle the Mexican government.

Think not? Then maybe you should check with Edwards County Deputy Guillermo Hernandez. Having confronted a vanload of Mexicans in the US illegally, Edwards found himself being pursued by the van as the driver attempted to run him down. Hernandez tried to shoot out the tires, but a ricochet wounded a female in the van. Hernandez went to jail for one year. By the way, the Hernandez case was prosecuted by Johnny Sutton's office.

The story goes that Aldrete-Davila's mother complained to someone, presumably a Mexican official, who got in touch with someone in the US government. DHS official Christopher Sanchez traveled to Mexico to retrieve Aldrete-Davila, brought him to the US to get him fixed up, and talked him into testifying against the agents. The rest is history.

No one has addressed the issue of why a Homeland Security official was being so nice to a known drug-runner with no regard for our laws. It appears US taxpayers are working for the benefit of Mexican criminals. I don't know about you, but I think that sucks.

Ramos and Compean were victims of the federal justice system. When Uncle Sam decides to put the screws to you, you are screwed. The agents' sentences not only punished them, but ruined their families. It's just wrong. Such prosecutions are worthy of Communist China or the former Soviet regime, not the United States of America. To pour salt into the wounds of the agents and their families, Bush later pardoned eight convicted drug dealers. Do you feel like laughing or crying?

Sutton should be ashamed, but he's not. He should testify, but he won't, because the truth might come out. He's defiant and he's safe, for now. He's a Bush-buddy.
