The operation may have a link to a DEA operation that essentially recruited the Sinaloa Cartel as an ally against the other cartels, as part of which DEA turned a blind eye to its drug shipment. I say may have because the court pleading on which the story is based gives details about other cooperation with the cartel, but guesses as to whether the gunrunning was part of this. On the other hand, the Sinaloa Cartel does seem to have wound up with an enormous share of the walked guns.
Sister Toldja has more.
In other news: TEA Party terrorists controlling Republican Congressional members.
So now we have the federal government DIRECTLY involved in smuggling drugs north from Mexico and south to the drug cartels and by extension, indirectly the cause of the murders of at least two US agents and probably hundreds of Mexicans.
THIS is hope and change?
yeah,they hope the media don't change

Let’s see the link to the chief executive in the White House; there’s little doubt it exists.
bump
Maybe compassionate conservatism? From the link:
Zambada-Niebla claims he was permitted to smuggle drugs from 2004 until his arrest in 2009.
Are there no investigative reporters left? Are they all sitting at desks waiting for some dem to call them with a story? How the mighty have fallen...
I wonder how much of those drugs wound up on the streets of CHICAGO........
Ask Rahm, I am sure he got his cut.
there is a Sinaola in custody that says he is a CIA asset.
Consider that most of the "investigative reporting" in the past 50 years has been investigative reporting against those the "Progressives" considered their enemies. A lot of what we have been fed by the MSM are lies and propaganda to further their agenda. Now that we have a little bit of media that is out of their control, we are seeing much that has been covered up.
Watergate was essentially a media coup against President Nixon. Roosevelt, Kennedy and Johnson did far worse, and the MSM knew about it, but did nothing.
We have essentially been living under a mediacracy, where that which is important is determined by the media, and most politicians get into office or not based on what the media thinks of them.
Consider how many current politicians would be in office if the MSM made them take their oath of office seriously and held them to it.
From the 2nd link:
While thats a good question for many good reasons, look at the dates in the article: these operations date back through George W. Bush into Bill Clintons administration, indicating a tradition of felony stupid; they include contract killings done for the cartel while the assassin was under ICE supervision.
The war on some drugs is as corrupt as sin.
Keep your powder dry, folks. Most of this is based on a cartel member in custody.
While I do not doubt the depths of evil that this administration will perpetrate to further world socialism, I do not want our side discredited by a cartel member.
This would not be the first time Obama has set up conservatives.
Yes. Lots of unclean hands.
The War on Some Drugs pollutes and corrupts everything it touches, just like Prohibition in the 1920's.
