Eleven more crimes have been documented that have been committed with guns linked to ATF's Fast and Furious. Fox has the report (as always. The MSM has other things to talk about).

Wake up, MSM. You have the biggest government scandal on your hands since Watergate. Oh yeah. Republicans did Watergate. Democrats did Fast and Furious.

Get the evidence, add it to the charges against the American dealers who sold the guns. That's the whole point, isn't it?
I still suspect the furor is being raised by congress reps under pressure from the NRA to save the dealers by shutting down the investigation.
Remember when the Gangster Disciples ran an anti-drug campaign? ... targeting the dealers from rival gangs of course.
Siarlys,
Wake up. The dealers were asked by ATF to let the sales proceed under surveillance.
We are talking about two different sets of dealers Gary. One of the reports you linked to mentioned about twenty under indictment. You don't get indicted for what you do under ATF supervision.
I believe a more accurate description is that AFT agents who had the guns under surveillance were ordered to let the transfers proceed under surveillance.
There is a difference here. There is a thing called a controlled delivery in which DEA can surveill the shipment of drugs to its ultimate destination or at least the next step to bust the recipients. It's done all the time. Yet, the ultimate objective is to seize the drugs and arrest the highest person possible on the scale.
Here, the guns were allowed to be sold, possibly survielled to some point then allowed to disappear into the traffic. Said guns have been linked to over 100 murders in Mexico and two BP agents. And what was the purpose? To prove that a certain percentage of guns were going into Mexico-to prove a political point. This is not OK. This is against all law enforement principles. This is an operation that could never have originated from a career law enforcement person. This clearly must have originated from someone political in Washington.
Nothing you've reported here sustains the claim that the guns were simply allowed to "disappear into traffic." But even that, with intent to track serial numbers, is better than the status quo ante, which was that guns were being sold with impunity.
