Lanny Breuer, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general who runs the criminal division, tells The Wall Street Journal that he wishes he had acted to prevent the “gun-walking” tactics that are under scrutiny in the Fast and Furious operation:
The earlier operation that caused concern was known as Wide Receiver, which Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents in Arizona ran in 2006-2007. ...
Talking points alert.The article ever so coyly insinuates Wide Receiver; with no facts...Blame Bush alert.
Exactly. The Spin Machine is still trying to pin it on Bush.
The politico link doesn’t work.
Truly a visionary ethicist.
Please fix the articles broken link here is the link
As someone pointed out a few weeks ago even the wikipedia write up of Wide Receiver shows NO GUNS WERE WALKED nor anything illegal.This is WEAK of Holder and Obama to try to blame Bush.
Lanny regrets...?
politico doesn’t work either
UNKO, on this issue, a former President should take to the airways to disspell the inuendo the current matter happened also on his watch. Crumble this one and all the rest of the rhetoric spewed by the left falls into the same abyss.
Certainly is.....you just have to remember that the "ethics" are Marxist.
I believe Holder ‘testifies’ a week from today.Bet me he will use the words Wide Receiver and Issa will be prepared to nail him.Holder will say he was confused between Wide Receiver and fast and furious or plead the fifth.
The news is loaded up to defend Obama and Holder.The Compost especially...
The truth that will come out if they try to blame Bush...

F&F developments
Correct, but it does not prevent them from trying to pin blame on Bush. They are unwaivering in their stupidity.
The man is so obviously sincere! Why, he is even biting his lip in that photograph. Who could doubt him. This ‘witch hunt’ must now stop, before more ‘good people’ are harmed.
I know, we can just ask the cartels to return the weapons. They will. They want to be as sincere as Assistant DA Lanny is so obviously sincere.
No harm, no foul ... everybody goes home a winner.
“even the wikipedia write up of Wide Receiver shows NO GUNS WERE WALKED nor anything illegal.”
I’ve read so much about GR and F&F, that the facts are swirling around my head,,,,, But I did read that some guns made it across in Wide Receiver. During WR, we were working with the mezzicans to either stop the guns before they reached the Border, or to have the mezzicans grab ‘em. During one run, we called the mex, and told them the vehicle was crossing the Border. The mex did not respond for 20 minutes, and when they did, they said they “didn’t see the vehicle.” Boss over here exploded, and shut the op down within two days. Big difference.
