The Washington Times
A Texas congressman who has challenged the prosecution of two U.S. Border Patrol agents who shot a drug-smuggling suspect yesterday described as "appalling" efforts by a Homeland Security official to defend misstatements his office made to a House subcommittee about the agents.
Rep. Ted Poe, Texas Republican, said Homeland Security Inspector General Richard L. Skinner was defending staffers who not only provided inaccurate information in saying the agents "wanted to shoot Mexicans," but claimed they had documents to prove their assertions -- which were promised but never delivered.
