ATF's Gun Walker project
2011-03-07
Posted by: badanov

The link in the title is to a blog which has been following the ATF's "Gun Walker" scandal in which ATF officials ran guns into Mexico knowing they would be sold to criminal gangs in Mexico.

What officials in the ATF were thinking is anyone's guess.

I have been following this since early last month, and IO didn't repeat anything of it because at the time I could not credit the information.

All that has changed now.

Just start with the latest post and go backwards to get a sense of the potential scandal this could become.
