President Bush has backed up his prosecutors even when they have crossed the line of legality and propriety. When Congressmen POE. CULBERSON and McCAUL in their official briefing asked why the most serious charges that could be leveled at the Border Patrol agents were initiated by the prosecutors and why the prosecutors took the word of the drug smuggler that he had no weapon. and by the way. the Border Patrol agents said that they thought he had a weapon. of course. the drug smuggler. who got away. claimed he didnt have a weapon. the prosecutors took the word of the drug smuggler. This was asked: Why would the prosecutors take the word of the drug smuggler over the word of two law enforcement officers? The Department of Homeland Security officials who were briefing the Congressmen said and proclaimed that this was a legitimate and righteous prosecution.
