From World Net Daily:

‘No comment’ on border agents, Snow says
Ramos, Compean remain in solitary while Libby stays free

Former vice presidential aide Scooter Libby is free from serving any part of a prison sentence on a conviction for lying about the Valerie Plame CIA case, while two U.S. Border Patrol agents remain in solitary for shooting at an escaping drug smuggler. And White House spokesman Tony Snow says that’s the end of the conversation.

Snow was responding to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND’s correspondent at the White House, about the issue. President Bush commuted Libby’s prison term on his conviction for lying, meaning he will not serve a day of the sentence.

However, there has been no response from the White House to the protests, including a coalition of several hundred members of Congress, seeking a pardon for Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.
