Commuted, not pardoned. Laws are for cops as well.

Bush cuts sentences of Ramos, Compean (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=86533)

Agents convicted of shooting smuggler will be released from prison March 20 (Not soon enough!)

© 2009 WorldNetDaily

President Bush commuted the prison sentences of former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean today.

The announcement came on the last full day of Bush's presidency. The sentences for Ramos and Compean are scheduled to expire March 20 but there was no immediate explanation for the time period between today's announcement and that date.

Two years ago, Ramos and Compean began serving sentences of 11- and 12- years respectively for a 2005 incident in which they fired on a drug smuggler as he fled back into Mexico after bringing 750 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. near Fabens, Texas.

Well, he finally did something right.

His approval rating just went from 2% to 2.05% in my books. This will be his legacy. :p
