DALLAS (AP) - Attorneys say two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a drug smuggler and covering it up have been released from prison.
Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean each had their sentences of more than 10 years commuted earlier this year by former President George W. Bush. Their commutation becomes effective March 20, and both will serve out the remainder of their sentences in home confinement.

The men were convicted in 2006 of shooting Osvaldo Aldrete Davila near El Paso and trying to conceal it.

Ramos left a federal prison in Phoenix on Tuesday morning on furlough, his attorney said in a statement. Compean was released Tuesday from an Elkton, Ohio, facility, his attorney's office said

And these guys are Real American Heroes -- I suspect they will not want for anything.

They shot the guy- which I don't have a problem with, then tried to cover it up- which I do have a problem with.

I completely disagree with the DA who cut a deal with the scum-sucking-****er who got shot, and then continued to traffic drugs into this country.

At most, obstruction of justice should have been the charge.

and target lessons.

That's what came out on Fox and Friends this morning during a telephone interview with their wives. They are not allowed to talk to the media themselves, yet.

My fear was that someone would get to them before they could get out.

They were kept in solitary for 23 hours per day, with one hour free for exercise.

True, but I'll bet there were more than a few guards keeping a close eye on these two.

Well, if nothing else, the POS would not have been rearrested for drug smuggling and other crimes after having been shot in the ass and recovering from his wound. :whatever:
