Ramos/Compean Case Becoming Another Watergate?
By Donald A. Collins

In my February 6, 2007 VDARE.COM story Border Agent Attacked In Prison—Another Dreyfus Case?, I outlined how one of the two railroaded Border Patrol agents, Nachos Ramos, had been badly injured in prison by illegal alien convicts. I said it recalled memories of the famous Dreyfus case of the 1890's in France, when Emile Zola wrote an open letter [Text in French| English Translation] to France’s President demanding justice for a wrongly imprisoned French Lieutenant, who was later released from Devil's Island.

Now an even more important report raises this question: How high in our government does this Ramos and Compean scandal go?

You recall how Watergate started with a minor event. Some non-entity burglars broke in the offices of the Democratic National Committee in Washington’s Watergate apartment complex and were caught. What ensued from there made American history.

Now, in an exclusive interview with www.FireSociety.com, Jerome Corsi—author of the best-seller Unfit for Command, --says that “the Mexican government was directly involved in the initiation of the investigation against Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean which led to their arrest, conviction and imprisonment.”

Firesociety reports: “Corsi, quoting members of Congress and sourcing Hill staffers, reports that Department of Homeland Security investigators informed Congress that it was the Mexican Consulate that initiated the events by contacting the U.S. Consulate”.

Why would there be pressure from Mexico to prosecute two distinguished Border Patrol agents long after they had tried to apprehend a fleeing drug dealer—whom they shot and wounded but who escaped, leaving his drug swag behind?

This story is just breaking and will doubtless be subject to amplification. But—

“In an interview with Grassfire.org's Steve Elliott (see audio above, transcript below), Corsi explained that no action was taken for days following the incident at the border. In fact the agents' actions were considered ‘normal’ and the reporting ‘acceptable’ until Mexico intervened. Says Corsi, ‘Then on March 4, 2005 the request came through from the Mexican Consulate to the U.S. consulate in Mexico demanding an investigation on the basis that the Mexican Consulate was bringing forth Davila and wanted the agents to be punished.’ [ Mexican Government Involved In Initiation Of Prosecution Of Agents Ramos And Compean]
