AG Must Investigate Ramos-Compean Case
by Fred Lucas, CNSNews: Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) wants to know why it took so long to charge the drug dealer -- used as the star witness in putting two ex-Border Patrol agents in prison -- with a second smuggling offense. Critics of the prosecution of former border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, sentenced to 11 and 12 years respectively, have long asked why the drug smuggler wasn't prosecuted.

The two agents were convicted for shooting Aldrete-Davila in the buttocks in February 2005 when he tried to evade arrest. . . .
"The recent arrest of Aldrete-Davila raises serious questions about decisions that were made in the trial and incarceration of the two agents," Cornyn told Cybercast News Service. "The attorney general should review the circumstances of this case immediately and forward a recommendation to the president."Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked during the confirmation hearing of Attorney General Michael Mukasey last month if he would look into the matter after taking office. Mukasey agreed to review it . . .
