One thing is becoming clearer by the day; acting ATF director Ken Melson is not going to fall on his sword for anyone. He may not come out of this looking clean, and he may not keep his job. However, he will not be the fall guy.

If I were a special prosecutor looking to flip someone on the higher end of this mess called Fast and Furious, Melson is the kind of guy I would grab. He is high enough on the scale to name the very higher ups. Whoever investigates this mess will already have a few street-level ATF agents with a lot of credibility who are putting it all on the line including their jobs. They can testify to the actual "walking" of thousands of guns on the street level. Melson can name the people in Washington.

Is this the (non-)story that Fox News told you to keep babbling about to avoid discussing the News Corp scandal??? Because they're certainly doing a swell job of trying to bury that story in their own coverage right now.
You think the mainstream media would be reporting it if it were NBC?
Yes I do.
So you're saying you believe it's a non-story?
Prosecution? What prosecution? Nobody has asserted one law broken. Walter Cronkite wouldn't have given this psycho-babble the time of day, nor would Huntley and Brinkley. On this non-issue, Fousesquawk is proving daily the truth of Joseph Stalin's observation "Paper will put up with anything you print on it." (You can square that for digital posting).
Siarlys thinks it's just a 3rd rate burglary.
It doesn't rise to that level of criminality Gary. This is more like if Montgomery had been court martialed for Operation Market Garden.
(For those who are UCSC Community Studies majors, or fans of David Horowitz, this was the spectacular failure which inspired the movie "A Bridge Too Far," also a book. It happened during World War II. That was in the 1940s, not the 1960s, and Robert E. Lee was not one of the Allied generals.
