Watching Pavlich interview with Major Garrett on CSPAN2, watch it now or catch the replay.
She just said that there were three weapons recovered at the scene, not two, and she strongly suspects that the murder of Brian Terry was a paid government confidential informant.
Now, I think we know why Obama-Holder wants to keep this evidence out of the public domain. Also, she points out for the slow that it's implied that the justice dept knew many Mexicans would be killed by putting these powerful weapons in the hands of cartel killers, but were considered essentially (my words) acceptable collateral damage. It's raciss at its core.
Been saying that all along. And there's a chance the 4th Amendment would be intact, too.
Employment screening and random testing for use could continue as a condition of employment, laws limiting operation of whatever under the influence exist, but drugs being illegal keeps the profits rolling in--enough money to kill over.
Let people see what a mess it makes of user's lives, and parents could point out the junkies like they used to do with winos..."Kid, you want to end up like that?..."
“Wire taps show that agents actually wanted confirmation of such a change in policy before they would release controls on the weaponry in question and the stores where purchases were made were demanding ‘second opinions’ when told to let the untraceable weeaponry go with these known smugglers.”
These weapons didn’t have tracking devices, but are definitely not untraceable. They all have serial numbers since they were purchased from retail dealers. Their objective was to make the claim that cartels were buying guns from American dealers to try to turn public sentiment against the second amendment.
Considering that the FBI was started by a fairy queen, spends taxpayer moneies on keeping records on people for no reason other than to destroy them politically, screws up investigation after investigation, has shot or killed innocents without prosecution, jails people for lying to them when they lie to everyone else, etc., I have never had respect for the Famous But Incompetents.
Unnamed agencies have done more to keep this nation safe than anything the FBI has ever done.
I think they'll try that, but let's not forget State was in headfirst up to her cankles in Operation Castaway...
The media might try to make her look lilly-white, but that isn't the case.

US Court Documents Claim Sinaloa “Cartel” Is Protected by US Government (JULY 2011)
Deal Allegedly Gave Sinaloa Bosses Immunity in Exchange for Providing Info on Rival Drug Organizations.
The son of a heavy hitter in a powerful Mexican drug trafficking organization has filed explosive legal pleadings in federal court in Chicago accusing the US government of cutting a deal with the the “Sinaloa Cartel” that gave its leadership “carte blanche to continue to smuggle tons of illicit drugs into Chicago and the rest of the United States.”
You just know that Bill and HIllary are planning an Obama administration exit strategy. If F&F goes thermonuclear, they for sure will have a plan to be outside of the blast radius. If that means turning on Obama and Holder, they will without hesitation.
I disagree. Already, blue-dog ‘rat congress critters are announcing plans NOT to attend the ‘rat convention.
It won’t take much to peel off a few of them over Murdergate. Once a few ‘rats jump ship, it will cascade into an avalanche of escapees.
50-50 Obama is gone before the election. We’re just waiting to see who will play John Dean.
At the DC end, I agree. Real scum. But the field Special Agents I knew were men of integrity.
That’s illuminating. Thanks.
.... don't get me wrong, I can only pray you are right. Of course, if you are, that opens a whole new kettle of fish. A new Democrat MIGHT just have a chance in 2012.
Everybody should read this article by former prosecuter Andrew McCarthy on NRO:

Fast and Furious and OCDETF
Whom is executive privilege protecting?
By Andrew C. McCarthy
http://www.nationalreview.com/author/52265/latest
OCDETF is Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. F&F was an OCDETF investigation, meaning it was a JOINT TASK FORCE of the ATF, DEA, FBI and ICE, meaning it was ALL RUN BY THE DOJ IN DC.
It’s beyond laughable to suggest that it was a “rogue” operation dreamed up by local FLEAs in AZ.
Read the Andrew McCarthy essay I just linked. This might get so bad so fast, that even Hillary is ruined by the taint. The ‘rats might have to run a nobody “place-holder” in the election, knowing that no ‘rat has a chance after the stench of MURDERGATE.
thanks
The video (http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Kati) is 45 minutes long. Don’t miss a minute of it...find a quiet moment and treat yourself to some facts from an articulate young lady that, as a journalist, has DONE HER JOB! (A rarity these days). I’m off to get the book now...an author like this needs our support.
from: http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/17/holder-considers-releasing-merchant-of-death-arms-trafficker-to-russians/
"Attorney General Eric Holder told Russian news outlets that the U.S. may return convicted arms dealer and terrorist Viktor Bout, the infamous “Merchant of Death,” to Russia to serve out the remainder of his 25-year prison term related to his terrorism conviction in the United States.
In 2010 Holder called Bout “one of the world’s most prolific arms traffickers.” He has also labeled the Russian ”a source of concern around the globe for decades.”
Isn't it about time for Holder to, at the very least, serve 25 years in the pokey for committing the same crime as Viktor Bout?
Required reading by McCarthy. As I've watched that Obama video replayed time and again over the last week, my immediate and strong suspicion was that it wreaked strongly of a pretext for plausible deniablilty-- this volunteering of information-- indeed a cover up. Isn't it obvious now? I think Issa, Grassley, Gowdy and others smell it too. You'd have to be a journOlist not to triangulate that steaming pile of crap coming from B.O.
Great link in a great thread. Thanks to all bloggers/researchers/educators/posters covering pre-meditated, agenda-driven, Murdergate.
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Good to see someone else who doesn't buy the ideological claptrap. Whatever happened to "follow the money". I smell a world record payoff.
