Finally, the Fast and Furious scandal has now become a large-scale criminal investigation. It has enveloped several agencies, including the Justice Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Drug Enforcement Administration; the U.S. attorney's office in Arizona; and now even the White House.

There's also another group involved in this mess - and weren't they also involved with Waco?

AFT Fast and Furious update: Congress seeks Defense Department records

from Sharyl Attkisson at CBS:

Was a Defense Department organization aware of Operation Fast and Furious? A new letter from Congressional investigators obtained by CBS News asks the provocative question.

The letter from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is addressed to the Commander of Joint Task Force North in Fort Bliss, Texas.

Read the letter [pdf]

It asks for all records pertaining to "Fast and Furious," the ATF case in which agents let thousands of guns "walk" into the hands of suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels. The idea was to try to take down a major cartel. Instead, weapons turned up at violent crimes all over Mexico and at the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry last December.

JTF North is a Dept. of Defense organization tasked to support federal law enforcement agencies in identifying and interdicting suspected threats along the border.

Go read it all - there are several other links to docs and reports there.

Also Sharyl will be on CBS's "Face the Nation" with Bob Schieffer on Sunday morning - should be interesting.
