It's things like this that piss me off the most:
Haven't they been through enough?
For those of you who do not know the back story:
Two men were doing their job and were brutally persecuted for it by the very people that they were protecting. Boarder Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean were defending themselves and the boarder between the United States and Mexico when they spotted a drug runner and attempted to arrest him. They believe they saw the drug runner pull a weapon on them, and he was shot in self defense. The drug runner fled back to Mexico.
Now, because these two men were doing their jobs and, mind you, following standard training procedure for any and all law enforcement, they are now serving an unjust sentience in solitary confinement. Critical things were left out of their trials, like how the drug runner was not a first time runner, although he claimed to be, and that when the Prosecution had brought him over they gave him a vehicle and a free pass to cross over into the Untied States at any time. During his time to testify he was caught running drugs in the very car that the government gave him! There are several other issues in this matter... for more on it please refer to here.

Pat and Ed are two radio talk show hosts that have been following this since day 1. Ed has done extensive research into the whole mess and have found many many flaws in the case against not only these two men but the other men who have also been charge in similar crimes while protecting the boarder.
UPDATE!!!!!!!
Ramos and Compean were released from prison today. It's not a full pardon, but they are able to return home and protect their families.
