I agree that is as stupid of an arguement as this being about race is.

What the hell was the purpose behind it then, brainiacs?

Okay I read it and have questions from it.

As political pressure has mounted, ATF and Justice Department officials have reversed themselves. After initially supporting Group VII agents and denying the allegations, they have since agreed that the ATF purposefully chose not to interdict guns it lawfully could have seized. Holder testified in December that "the use of this misguided tactic is inexcusable, and it must never happen again."

There's the rub.

Quite simply, there's a fundamental misconception at the heart of the Fast and Furious scandal. Nobody disputes that suspected straw purchasers under surveillance by the ATF repeatedly bought guns that eventually fell into criminal hands. Issa and others charge that the ATF intentionally allowed guns to walk as an operational tactic. But five law-enforcement agents directly involved in Fast and Furious tell Fortune that the ATF had no such tactic. They insist they never purposefully allowed guns to be illegally trafficked. Just the opposite: They say they seized weapons whenever they could but were hamstrung by prosecutors and weak laws, which stymied them at every turn.

Why would Holder admit to a "misguided tactic" if there was no tactic at all?

Holder has been pretty cleqar that Fast and Furious, like Wide Receiver before it, let guns walk. I find it *very* difficult to believe that ATF agents set up stings and were then hampered by prosecutors.

Holder has already turned over docutments contemporaneous with Fast and Furious. The current subpoena is for documents that were produced after Fast and Furious was closed down, as I understand it. I'm not sure how much they would add to the purpose of preventing a program that everyone agrees was a mistake, but they can probably be combed for election fodder.

By June 2010 the agents had sent the U.S. Attorney's office a list of 31 suspects they wanted to arrest, with 46 pages outlining their illegal acts. But for the next seven months prosecutors did not indict a single suspect.

Perhaps one of those 31 suspects sold the gun that killed the border patrol agent? What do you think?

I don't know. For example, I don't know if the refusal to arrest preceded or followed Wide Receiver/Fast and Furious.
