In Passing

Government on both sides of “Fast and Furious”

"You mean we’re *all* FBI agents?”  Dept
Gunwalking into Knebel & Bailey territory?
...Congressional sources have learned that not only was U.S. taxpayer money being used to buy guns that were later sent to Mexico, but the main target of the investigation was actually a FBI informant and former drug dealer who had been deported years ago. - Fox News
UPDATE (110708 16:30):
Fast and Furious, aka Gunwalker, Funded By Stimulus Bill
Hidden in plain sight, in a bill that no one read, was $10,000,000 for an ATF project called "Gunrunner.”...

Attorney General Eric Holder said he wouldn’t authorize it, but someone in Congress knew enough about it to earmark ten million bones for it.  And Obama signed the bill and gave it to them.

I look forward to the day when we learn that all organized crime is actually perpetrated by various undercover agents infiltrating each others’ organizations to get to the bottom of organized crime.

I don't see how the Fast and Furious debacle can be resolved without someone high up in the administration resigning. They can't all have been ignorant.
And if they were, then they should resign for not knowing what their underlings were involved with.
