Clearing the Browser Tabs – Gunrunning Thursday Edition
If you haven’t heard of Operation Gunrunner, you should probably read up on it a bit. Start with Michelle’s link-filled post here, then move over to this post by Patterico. The latter post is especially important because it appears from all the evidence available that thanks to some pretty stunning incompetence at the federal level, one of our ICE Agents is dead.
The Feds have posted a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Agent Zapata’s killer. I’d suggest they could find some pretty good leads inside their own Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Senators Chuck Grassley (R – Iowa) and Darrell Issa (R – Calif.) have been on this case for at least a month and, despite their evidence, they’ve gotten nothing but stonewalling from the administration. Hopefully, their investigation will lead to an arrest, possibly even an arrest of whoever murdered Agent Zapata.

Our federal government is out of control, and run by corrupt, incompetent ideologues. Now that the dems gunrunning scandal has been exposed they have introduced legislation outlawing the very (gunrunning/straw buyer) practice they themselves initiated with their Fast and Furious (dimwitted) program. What unbelievable aplomb! Good luck passing that piece of legislative trash. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."
