President Bush today finally commuted the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.
The plight of these two border guards has been a source of frustration for many conservatives, as they were sent to prison on trumped-up charges for shooting a man who was transporting drugs across the US border. The only bad thing is that commuting their sentences means that Ramos and Compean will still have the convictions on their records, whereas a pardon would have essentially erased those convictions.
Personally, I think that President Bush's last act in office should be to make it legal to shoot drug traffickers in the butt, but that's just my opinion.
