And these Two Individuals are Considered in the Same Species....Why Again?

ATF Supervisor, David Voth, April 13 2010

"I understand that the frequency with which some individuals under investigation by our office have been purchasing firearms from your business has caused concerns for you. … However, if it helps put you at ease we (ATF) are continually monitoring these suspects using a variety of investigative techniques which I cannot go into (in) detail."............There he is, folks, not only approving but encouraging ILLEGAL GUN SALES. Yeah. And this is the fellow who Katherine Eban used as her primary source. Unbefrigginglievable X 2.

1) Back in March of 2010, acting deputy ATF director, William Hoover, called for an emergency meeting to close down the program that we now commonly refer to as Operation Fast and Furious. But those at the meeting, which included a Justice Department official, said no. They did not want to stop these ILLEGAL GUN SALES until they had something to show for it (i.e., arrests and the possible take-down of a major drug cartel).............2) According to memos, emails, sworn depositions, and Capitol Hill testimony, it was the Department of Justice that provided the initial impetus for the program, Operation Fast and Furious.............3) Kenneth Melson, acting ATF director at the time of Fast and Furious, has conceded that he and his subordinates took the DOJ memos and created from them the "tactical strategy" which eventually became Operation Fast and Furious, and that it was run out of William Newell's (the then special agent in charge of the ATF field offices in Arizona and New Mexico) office.............4) Under the program, agents were to watch (and in some cases record on video) ILLEGAL SALES and then use surveillance to follow the gun purchasers. Obviously they failed.............5) Even after Brian Terry's death, the operation continued for another 6 weeks............................................................................................The evidence is overwhelming here, people. Guns were clearly allowed to walk and the ATF and DOJ were both involved.....And even if you concede that the agents in Arizona did attempt to track these weapons, and even that their resources to do so were low (this point is clearly debatable in that there were millions of dollars of stimulus money that were earmarked for gun interdiction), their failure rate was monumental. Too many guns were allowed to walk and they weren't even equipped with tracking devices. A scandal? Yeah, you better believe that this was a scandal.

On those Kissing Scenes Between a 52 Year-Old Clark Gable and a 23 Year-Old Grace Kelly in 1953's, "Mogambo"

I think that I'll probably go with, "uncomfortable".

And Eban Interviewed a Retired IRS Agent....Why Exactly?

 This is where it gets really interesting, folks. The IRS was working with the ATF solely because the latter needed the former to counsel the gun dealers as to how to handle their taxes. Yep, it seems as if the income of the gun dealers was being artificially inflated because of the sales to the straw purchasers and the complications of this were more than their regular accountants could handle. Unbefrigginglievable, huh?

ATF Supervisor, David Voth, April 2 2010

 "Our subjects purchased 359 firearms during the month of March alone, to include numerous Barrett .50 caliber rifles. I believe we are righteous in our plan to dismantle this entire organization and to rush in to arrest any one person without taking in to account the entire scope of the conspiracy would be ill advices to the overall good of the mission."......No, he didn't know anything about Fast and Furious. Not him.......And, just for the record, he continued to utilize the term, "righteous", even after he was informed of the carnage. Yeah, he's an amazing great source, Ms. Eban.

Hm, Let's See, Who Do I Trust Here,

A well respected, non-partisan, multiple award-winning (3 Edward R. Murrow awards and 2 Emmy awards) mainstream journalist with absolutely ZERO AGENDA (Sharyl Attkisson), or a well-known partisan/agenda-driven hack/erstwhile democratic operative whose article was laced with lies, inconsistencies, and stuff that just doesn't pass the smell-test (Katherine Eban)? Hm, yeah, that's an extremely difficult choice......NOT!!!!!!.......................................................................................Oh, and one of those Edward R. Murrow awards, it was for her coverage of Operation Fast and Furious. Just for the record here.
