    Has anybody else been following this development? Apparently there is now a memo that shows that the Deputy Attorney General had knowledge of the operation.

    I'll pull out the "if this was Bush" card again, but if this administration literally will help supply US guns to Mexican nationals and gangs, just so they can then bemoan the need for more gun control, what else are they capable of manufacturing to advance their agenda?

    What exactly was the purpose of this operation? Doesn't give details as to the reasons for it. Just says what happened.

    I believe the idea was to track the guns, for some reason. What happened is that some of the guns have been used to kill US citizens, and coincidently, the Obama administration used that as propaganda for greater gun control. Hence, the House hearings, which for some reason aren't being covered by the media.

    Oh, ity was to track them, to see where they are going? Yeah, without bothering to look into it any more, becuse I don't care to, that sounds extremely dumb. Also, I am going to release guns in the projects in Chicago. And then, you know, just follow where they go. Hey, fuckin-A, they went to gang members. Who used them. Ooops. Almost sounds like sacrificing people to catch bad guys.

    Or, they get a multi-million dollar severance package.

    Didn't the DEA do this several years ago with drugs and the same thing happened? Everyone had to know this was a stupid plan but no one had the balls to speak up.

    The severance packages are generally negotiated before you accept employment terms. Besides, it's being done with private money, so I can't see where it's your concern unless you're a shareholder.

    Just like all the mishandled money during the housing crisis. I didn't have any money in any of the companies that "went under", hmmm somehow it still seemed to affect everyone though...

    Maybe he'll get Scooter Libby treatment or Dick Cheney treatment. If he had involvement though, then he should be prosecuted.
