Beg your 'pardon'?

After a 2005 drug related border shooting involving two US agents and a smuggler who was caught with 1 million dollars worth of marijuana, the two agents are still hoping for relief from their 11 to twelve year sentence terms. President Bush has been asked to pardon the agents that his long time friend and prosecutor Johnny Sutton helped convict. Although they fired at an unarmed suspect, I do not believe the person who was illegally smuggling drugs should be let free and allowed to benefit while the officers trying to do their job should receive over ten years in prison. It was just interesting to see that the President's view on the issue has a lot to do with the fact that he knows the prosecutor. I don't know if he can give a fair opinion in this case as to whether or not the men should be pardoned. Decide for yourself. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-borderagents_20tex.ART.State.Edition1.4205177.html
