Yes the blame apparentely goes right to the top:
The accusations against ATF and DOJ officials include:
1. They intentionally allowed perhaps as many as 3,000 firearms to walk across the U.S. border into Mexico.
2. They instructed U.S. gun dealers to proceed with questionable and illegal sales of firearms to suspected gunrunners.
3. They intentionally withheld information about U.S.-sanctioned gun smuggling from the Mexican government.
4. One of the guns ATF allowed or helped to be smuggled into Mexico was involved in the death of CBP Agent Brian Terry.
For two years, weve been hearing from Holder and others in the Obama administration about a so-called iron pipeline of American guns across the border, and federal officials have been working to strip you of your rights.
Wouldnt it be ironic to learn that while the Obama administration was blaming our gun rights for the drug war violence in Mexico, its own gun sting operation was a major source of illicit firearms?
Obama nominated anti-gun zealot Andrew Traver to head up the ATF prior to Congressional recess last year, and reappointed him in the 112th Congressbut the Senate Judiciary Committee has yet to hold hearings. Rumors are that this Gunrunner issue is causing problems, because the ATF doesnt want questions about this case to come up.
What does the ATF not want us to know?
This is a cover-up at the highest levels of our government.
