The Mexican government's alleged intervention in the case of U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean will be the focus of a hearing today by a House subcommittee.
Ramos and Compean are serving 11- and 12-year prison sentences, respectively, after a jury convicted them last year of violating federal gun laws and covering up the shooting of a drug smuggler as he fled back to Mexico after driving across the border with more than 700 pounds of marijuana. The office of El Paso U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton gave the smuggler, Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, immunity to serve as the government's star witness and testify against the border agents.
As WND reported, no criminal investigation of the agents began until after the Mexican consulate complained the agents violated Aldrete-Davila's civil rights by shooting him without warrant.

"Could this be the beginning of the end of the Bush Administration?"
I doubt it but this is one investigation that I am in favor of. The Democrats are conducting their Bush harassment witch hunts but this case really stinks and I would like t know more.
BTW - I read your other recent posts too. You have become a news source, thank you.
Yes, I agree, but it may be another small hole in hull of the good Saudi Ship El Bush.
You use me and my interests as a news source all you want, my friend!
I've always had a great intuition about things, but can't assemble it in logical, unemotional script. If others can run with it - great!
There's something not quite right about Bush; love of money and power, perhaps? - I don't really know.
Keep the faith, brother!
Oh! I forgot!
Even if Bush goes away, what's left? Why - it's the LEFT!
We have a lot of work to do.
There is a lot of time between now and the election. Any one of many things can happen that could give people pause. If the Democrats are known only for their investigations, the donks will have had a very short revival.
These investigations have been primarily initiated by Republicans, Deuce, although Dems approve and are taking part.
Here's a quote from the latest know article:
"This case stinks to high heaven," ranking member Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., declared in his opening statement.
The absence of Sutton and Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Richard L. Skinner – and an overall lack of cooperation from the Justice Department – will trigger additional oversight hearings demanding answers in the controversial case, said Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass., chairman of the subcommittee on Internal Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Glenn Beck has called Ramos and Compean America's first political prisoners. I agree completely with these hearings and I hope more information is discovered. I suspect we're going to find out the Mexican government wanted these guys prosecuted and Bush agreed for political reasons. This is "Stalin stuff" and should anger all Americans.
