I detect a change now in how the mainstream media is dealing with this story. It seemed like they were reticent to pick up the story. But now, more and more major media outlets are reporting on it.
When you consider the severity of the allegation, this is big. Accusations of this scope require pretty serious proof.

When Al started this thread back in February, there had been rumors floating around for a couple of months already, but many of us wanted more evidence before we gave it much credence. Before then, we only had a couple of bloggers (who've been known to trade in alarmism) and some allegations on a forum made up of disgruntled former ATF employees.

But, it turns out that they were on to something. Agent Dodson came forward publicly, as did others. CBS news picked it up, and it became the subject of Congressional hearings. The early whistleblowers were right, and the more everybody found out, the worse the situation was revealed to be.

This isn't something anybody wants to cry wolf on, but at this point, the wolf already ate that annoying kid, and he's gnawing on the Mayor's ankle.
