House Panel to Probe Mexico's Role in Ramos-Compean Affair

Update at the end of this :

In an update to my piece Border Agents Were Charged With 'Non-Existent Crime', CNS News has learned of the following;

A congressional panel will Tuesday try to establish whether the Mexican government played a role in the prosecution of two former Border Patrol agents serving lengthy prison terms for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler.

The House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight will hold a hearing on the case of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. In prison since January, they face 11- and 12-year sentences, respectively, for shooting and wounding Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila in February 2005 and then trying to cover up the incident.

This supports the actions by Judicial Watch in their Corruption Chronicles announced last week.

I have many issues with Senator Dianne Feinstein BUT, as I look into this issue more and more, I see a side of her that I like and that is the look of Justice Will Prevail. Politics aside, Sen Feinstein and Sen Cornyn are not going to let loose of this bone. The grilling of the prosecutor of this case ain't over. Not by a long shot. Tom Tancredo also has a grip on this issue and the Congressional Posse is hot on the trail.

The underlying rip-tide here that concerns me the most is the under-handed "influence" that the Mexican Government has in border issues.

WHO GIVES A DAMN WHAT THEY WANT!! IT IS THEIR CITIZENS CAUSING THE PROBLEM(S) HERE! HELLO?

Following a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing probing the matter, Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) called on President Bush to commute the sentences, calling them excessive.

In the House, Reps. Poe, Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) sponsored an amendment to the Commerce Justice and Science FY 2008 appropriations bill prohibiting the federal government from spending any federal funds to keep Ramos and Compean imprisoned. In a voice vote last week, it passed with bipartisan support.

Let us hope and pray that this travesty of justice is reversed.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin has a piece up in regards to Mexico *^%31@$^ing sticking their noses where it doesn't belong in regards to "the fence".
