Government abuses like THIS are another reason why all Americans must now put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!

Hmm....If my job is to ask Congress for funding for a particular project would I lay it out as "We're letting suspected drug traffickers get their hands on guns which we then figure are going into Mexico to be used in Narco-wars. We figure that some folks might get killed but, hey, it's all worth it in the end......right Congressman?"
I'm going to hazard a guess that the disclosure was more along the lines of "This program is for the purpose of tracking weapons we suspect are being sold to 'straw buyers'. So far we've tracked this many weapons and we need more funding to continue the success of this operation"

Whatever was said to congress is on the record. This is a head fake to get the right on the defensive. It will work , it always does. We will spend more time defending against a mystery source than the real issue.

The Washington Post and anonymous sources go together like hay and horses . . .

And a stupidly executed one. This only opens the door to more questions about timeline and who knew what and when at the DOJ and ATF, and why they drug their feet to Congress on things Congress was already briefed on.

Congress was briefed on an operation Holder and the head of the ATF didnt know anything about? Issa should subpoena Jerry Markon and Sari Horwitz along with their editor to the hearing and get all the details. Bet that would be an interesting panel!

I really think the reporters are so stupid they don’t know the difference either way they are covering for the dems as normal.
To: brityank
That is a good idea. I like it.

And, after he was briefed, and checked out the data, he is going medieval on them.
What’s not to like?
This article is just an attempt to mis-direct public opinion.
DO pay attention to the man behind the White Hut curtain.
