Breaking: Ramos And Compean Have Sentences Commuted

Just a one liner at the top of Fox's main news page.

Awesome news!

Update More:

Bush didn't pardon the men for their crimes, but decided instead to commute their prison sentences because he believed they were excessive and that they had already suffered the loss of their jobs, freedom and reputations, a senior administration official said.

The action by the president, who believes the border agents received fair trials and that the verdicts were just, does not diminish the seriousness of their crimes, the official said.

Compean and Ramos, who have served about two years of their sentences, are expected to be released from prison within the next two months.

UPDATE by RS: AllahP is doing a string of updates. What more can I add but hooray.

Update by Jane: Dan (Digger Dan), who has been quite active in this fight, points us to the Agent Ramos website.
