Here you have an accusation the Phoenix ATF is walking guns to Mexico. As it turns out, we know by email evidence that both Weinstein and Breuer knew about Wide Receiver and that guns had walked. Breuer even claims he flew to Phoenix to reprimand the people involved. Now you have another accusation of gunwalking involving those same three people and you just take your AUSA's word that it is totally untrue? Even if you're that gullible, how do you fail to mention the previous incident you know about? Looks like Breuer and Weinstein are going to Congress... |

I stick with:
- Act Surprised - Deny Everything - Shift Blame We are still in the blame shifting phase. What I find amazing is that for many, many years we have had no one in national office has been made accountable to anyone for illegal actions. I guess the last one was Nixon. I think the safe money says that no one important will be made to resign, no one will go to jail and business as usual will resume.

Hardcase wrote in part:
In the spirit of "openness", the DoJ has released documents showing how it arrived at the conclusion that the ATF had done nothing wrong, prior to the discovery that it had, in fact, done everything wrong. ------------------------- Re the above, well lookee here, The Pot Calls The Kettle Black. http://news.yahoo.com/justice-dept-d...215322145.html I pity the scapegoats. Well, maybe not pity them as much as feel bad that they'll end up taking more heat than they should. --------------------- If Hardcase feels so generous, that is his call, re expressions of "pity". For myself, the following comes to mind. They so willingly took the king's shilling. |

My own side note.
I watched a story today on Fox News about the F&F mess and they showed a picture of Brian Terry's gravesite. On the marker were inscribed the following words: What, may I ask, is that? What kind of epitaph is that to put on anyone's grave? What am I missing?

I believe he was referring to persuing criminals, not the actual hunting and killing, like deer hunting.
The persuit of another being that can out-think you and is capable of cunning and intellect intrigues many people. Rick

The Ernest Hemmingway quote isn't in the context of Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game.
This same quote was shown to Carlos Hathcock. He copied Hemingway's words on a piece of paper. "He got that right", Hathcock said. "It was the hunt, not the killing." Hathcock said in a book written about his career as a sniper: "I like shooting, and I love hunting. But I never did enjoy killing anybody. It's my job. If I don't get those bastards, then they're gonna kill a lot of these kids dressed up like Marines. That's the way I look at it." So anyway, there is somewhat of a tradition to this quote. You have to know the context. |

Having hunted men, I no longer find a satisfaction in hunting animals. Now I hunt varmits which present a threat to my animals and occassionally pot meat.

I believe it makes Terry sound like a fallen mercenary.

Tracking an animal is one thing and often difficult.
Tracking a man, who knows he's being tracked, who walks backward, who walks in carpet-boots, who brushes out, who doubles back to track you, is something entirely different.

'Fast & Furious' Whistleblowers Struggle Six Months After Testifying
'Fast and Furious' Whistleblowers Struggle Six Months After Testifying Against ATF Program
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...fying-against/ The one thing I don't like about this article is that they have once again trotted out Jay Dobyns who has nothing to do with F&F and everytime Fox trots him out for a quote they fail to make that clear. Jay Dobyns has nothing to do with F&F he's just whoring out quotes to Fox - I wish they'd stop. |

Additional details of the money laundering
According to Issa the money laundering operations they were conducting were "Attorney General Exempt Operations", which have been forbidden to conduct with Mexico since 1998.

Refers to Kurt Hoffman's blog about State Department arranged sales of AR15-class weapons to the Mexican government. About 19,000 in 2009 alone, of which State figures about 26% quickly went into criminal hands...that's over 4800 firearms in one year, twice and change what ATF accomplished throughout F+F. Hillary doesn't know this? Calderon doesn't know this, and accuses "lax" US gun laws of being his problem? Hillary is either lying or negligent. Calderon has a huge "gun control" problem of his own that he is lying about. This all makes it hard to buy into the 90% meme sold by Obama, Hillary and others, or that F+F was launched for any reason other than promoting gun control law "enhancements" in the US with the blood of Mexicans and others. How low can they go?

The email specifically requesting info to support reports for multiple long gun sales makes for a nice convenient reference to point others to. I just hope the investigation is not running out of steam given Grassley's recent comments about Holder not being in the loop, etc.

Well, that IS what we have been waiting on. I can't say I believe that ANYONE here is surprised.
[Insert long rant about crooked politics, lying government officials, and general disgust at the entire system and current leadership] The only question is what are we going to do about it? Kudos to CBS too. They have really surprised me recently going after all of congress with the insider trading and other stuff too. Maybe they are falling back into the centrist category? Too much to wish for maybe. Quote:
