Pardoning Turkeys


I have to say that I am rather put off by our President this Thanksgiving. As he stood there in the Rose Garden, tongue-in-cheek, pardoning a turkey, I thought of the two border patrol agents sitting in a jail, away from their families this Thanksgiving. I think our President could have shown Mexico and the world what sort of leader he really was. He could have stood up tall with his head held high and stated he was moving away from the tradition this year and giving a full pardon to our two heroes who sit in jail for doing their job! There is no excuse to have kept these two young men locked up. They did their job on the border and that is the tall and short of it. After learning about the snot nosed drug dealer (who constantly walked back and forth across the border with a "free pass" from Johnny Sutton), had been arrested and finally convicted, President Bush should have released the guards from the jail and thrown Johnny Sutton into prison. He and the drug dealer should be cell mates! Any comments? Freedancer
