These Border Agents should never have been charged, but should have received a commendation, instead!  I guess Congress needs to have an in-depth investigation into the circumstances regarding their having been charged, then tried, then convicted.  My understanding is that in the 10 months since the trial, the court and/or Justice Department has been unable to find/gather a copy of the court transcript.  I have also heard that 50+ members of Congress have written to Mr. Bush to request a pardon for these men, but have had no response.  Interestingly, NOT ONE DEMOCRAT signed the letter to the president!
