I wonder why the article calls it a “gun tracking” program when the guns were not tracked.

Aren’t these reporters the least bit interested in figuring out the real reason Holder was running guns and grenades to the drug lords in Mexico? Are they interested in how many Mexicans have been murdered by Holder’s guns and grenades? What a brain dead job journalism is today.

Journalism is dead, in the newspeak it is the ministry of information.

"I wonder why the article calls it a “gun tracking” program when the guns were not tracked."

From what I've learned from this deadly scandal is that the intent WAS to track the weapons so as to show how many US manufactured guns were "close" to reaching the Mexican drug cartels, and thereby give weight for anti-gun legislation and/or executive order. Unfortunately, the "controlling authority" didn't consider how corrupt and lawless Mexico is.

What amazes me, beyond the audacity of the DOJ trying such an ill-fated political maneuver, is how they thought they could actually track those guns once in Mexico. Of course, I'm not privilege to internal operations of Fedgov agencies so who knows what twisted thinking was going on? But Mexico? Really? What an ill-conceived operation.

I truly think that children with no commonsense are running our country. And yes, they have their socialist agenda and working it with their best political intellect. I'm just saying that they don't have enough smarts to NOT create such a stupid program.

If Rep. Issa gets his Contempt of Congress citation passed against Holder, it will be a huge issue for this election year. Yeah, the hard-core Repubbie Party folks will say we don't need the Dim counter of racism, divisiveness, and mean-spiritness. I say let it all hang out and fight them as hard as we can on everything!!! We need to stop letting the liberal/socialists define the argument. Take it back to them, and by the way, get rid of Boehner.

Yup. Just think if there were still a Woodward or Bernstein who saw this for what it is? Deepthroat? This would be Deepkill!

It's now all about trying to get the anchor job on network TV. "LOOK AT ME! I'M IMPORTANT!".

Journalistic integrity is a lost concept. I so often wish that journalism studies and law studies would just shut down for awhile. Let them both diminish through attrition.
