re: #91 Charles Johnson

“Fast and Furious” looks to me like a classic bureaucratic cluster-fuck, that ended up getting some people killed. It wasn’t the first and it won’t be the last, but what the Fortune article shows is that Darrell Issa and the GOP’s attempt to implicate Eric Holder and Barack Obama in some way is not just wrong, it’s a cynical, dishonest smear job wholly driven by politics.

Dumb thought it seems to have been, I think even that is a bit of an overstatement. A gun that touched the program was used in the killing of an ATF agent, but this wasn’t close to the only source of guns, etc etc etc. Calling that cause-and-effect is, I think, a bit strong.

Again: dumb program.
