SYNOPSIS:Yesterday, Congressman Darryl Issa criticized on CNNqs "Lou -
Dobbs Tonightn SDCA's "refusaln to prosecute 100% of all alien
smugglers. The USAO-SDCA has learned that the "Border Patrol Report" on
which Rep. Issa relies is an unauthorized. altered version of an old
report.

The USAO-SDCA has issued a written statement to CNN with that
. information.

DISCUSSI0N:On Thursday, May 18, 2006, the Associated Press ran a news
story prompted by the release of a 2004 "Border Patrol Report" by
Congressman Darryl Issa (R-CA) . According to Congressman Issa, the
report from the El Cajon substation of the Border Patrol (San Diego
Sector) concluded that morale was low among Border Patrol agents at the
El Cajon station due to the high number of declined prosecutions by our
office. The story received national media attention.

On Friday, May l5., 2006, the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, San Diego
Sector, informed us that the report released by Congressman Issa was
actually an altered and unauthorized version of an actual internal
intelligence report issued by the El Cajon substation.

No kidding? Well, HOWWW-DEE!! Why do you suppose Issa is pimping a PHONEY report accusing a USA of failing to prosecute 100% of all illegal immigrant smuggling cases, on national television?

The original
report was labeled nProsecution of Smugglers" for Fiscal Year 2003; the
altered report was labeled "Prosecution of Smugglers (1324) Fiscal Year
2004." The altered 2004 report contained editorial comments and
conclusions that were never seen by or authorized by Border Patrol
management.

Darryl, you got some SPLAININ' to do. Makes me wanna call up Lou Dobbs and ask him if he knows he's being played for a sucker!"

Notice that the ABOVE comment references "problems" with illegal immigration prosecutions that have to be addressed by a date certain, or pop goes the weasel for Carol Lam. And whaddaya know, Carol figured out Issa was shillin some phoney BS to get the calls comin in for her head.

Any connection between Darryl Issa and Duke Cunningham? How about Brent Wilkes? Wade? Foggo?

Just askin....
