The operation allowed illegal gun purchases Some weapons ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels

That makes it sound like some unintended consequence, when in fact that was the whole purpose of the program.

Yeah, they were illegal gun purchases and export...how is this not a violation of the arms export control act? Weapons were going to terrorists which is one of the tenets of the act. Of course the pissadent could have made a finding it was not a violation. Maybe someone should ask him about that on his twitter account.
