In his January 12th article on the 2010 ATF Operation White Gun, Los Angeles Times reporter Richard Serrano did little more than tell readers that 3 virtual nobodies had been arrested in an expensive sting which somehow allowed an unknown number of guns to disappear across the Mexican border.
In fact there are probably more questions raised in the story than answered. (1)

Only the except is still available, but you get this guy’s agenda from it.

But if it is reported in the L.A. Times, let the byline be your guide. If it says Richard Serrano, just pretend the story was written by Eric Holder and you’ll be fine.
