Regarding the two border guards... Compean/Ramos...

[BlackHawk706867]

I have a question with respect to this situation... Watched the hearings today from start to finish and what became very apparent as was mentioned on Lou Dobbs, these two guards were given extremely harsh sentences where the Drug mule got off scott free. My question is, does anyone think that it is possible that Gonzales, Bush, and Cheney could have a vested interest in both seeing these two agents punished to this degree and the Drug mule getting complete immunity? This might be reaching, but it certainly looks very strange on the surface to me.

1. Shades of American Gangster - CIA drugrunning that dumped tons of cheap cocaine

from IranContra dealings into black communities all over America.

The report came out in 1996 and our government officials at the time denied and downplayed the report and Gary Webb, the Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter who broke the story was labeled a fantasist by the mediawhores mouthing the official government line, though two years later, in 1998, documents were finally obtained that proved he was correct.

This current story reeks of the same dealings.

American Gangster documentary started showing on BET last December. Catch it if you can.

2. In addition to this, is it also possible that this administration has a vested...

interest in the Poppie growing (and drug export) from Afghanistan?

7. Absolutely - that's how "Poppy" Bush got his CIA nick. Does anyone think Poppy

Bush woke up one day in Jan 1993 and decided he would STOP running drugs, moneylaundering, funding and arming terror networks just because he wasn't IN the oval office anymore?

Nope - he just got stronger in the 90s without the congressional scrutiny and oversight that had been plaguing him, aka John Kerry, Henry Gonzalez and Joe Moakley.

Everything happening today like 9-11 and this Iraq war are rooted in IranContra, BCCI, CIA drugrunning and Iraqgate operations, aka GHWBush's crimes of office.


BTW - here's a link to BET documentary - the only one you'll see on broadcast TV as this whole story has been covered up mightily by Bush's friends who control most corporate media.

3. I have suspected Gonzo being involved in this and maybe Bush.

4. God i hate it when cops get busted for shooting people in the back!

That chaps me no end! :sarcasm:

Let the bastards rot in prison.

5. That post is all very well, unless your the cop that has just endured a...

high-speed chase with this dirt bag.... It's too bad his aim was off, since they are trained to shoot for the mass.... That POS deserves to be dead and buried IMO...

6. Hey, you left your brotherrs behind:

10. That would have been murder

the Supreme Court had ruled years earlier that shooting a fleeing suspect (and in this case, he was unarmed and the guards knew it) is abuse of deadly force.

Then these guards tried to cover up the shooting and repeatedly lied about it.

The guards got what they deserved.

8. I'd bet anything the drugrunner works for BushInc, and THAT is why the

Bush ally, RW prosecutor was used on these border guards.

9. A GOP Senator said earlier; "they should never have been prosecuted they should have

been reprimanded by those heading their department... personally, the only good drug smuggler is a dead one.

[blm]

11. The whole story is upside down.

In any other drug or border story, BushInc would be on the side of authority doing the shooting. If they chose to side against law enforcement on this shooting it's because they don't want THEIR OWN drug networks disturbed.
