I just ran into this piece again, reread it, confirmed it's one of the most surprisingly fair outside assessments I've seen, and decided to push it one more time for those who weren't aware of it back when it first came out. [More]
It was a real education reading you and Mike back then, and following the comments on cleanupatf.org. I had personally experienced the way one federal agency operated (U.S. Forest Service), but it was nothing compared to the covert top-down Statist operation of the agencies and executive branch in pushing for citizen disarmament 'under the radar'.
Well done sir, we are glad that the people who refused to let this story get buried did what they did. Fast and Furious was an operation that demonstrates how manipulative the U.S. Adminstration can be. The person(s) who thought of it and hid their complicity will have much to answer for.
How did it turn out - two persons retiring with full benefits ?
Thanks for the memories.

Thank you both for 'value received'.
Excellent piece, glad you both are finally receiving national recognition for your 'guerrilla" reportage.
