When did all this start? Did it start under ocokesnorter?

"To help combat firearms trafficking into Mexico, ATF began Project Gunrunner as a pilot project in Laredo, Texas, in 2005 and expanded it as a national initiative in 2006. Project Gunrunner is also part of the Department’s broader Southwest Border Initiative, which seeks to reduce cross-border drug and firearms trafficking and the high level of violence associated with these activities on both sides of the border."

From internal ATF documents found here: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/OIG_report.pdf

Thanks. Wasn’t ATF still under Treasury at that time?
