Holder testified that he knows the differences between F&F and Wide Receiver. Sen. Cornyn pushed him to admit that in Wide Receiver the guns had tracking devices and the GOM was involved. Maybe we'll find out how Bill Newell, Dennis Burke, and the DOJ came up with F&F strategy and why they would lie to Grassley. The only thing that makes any sense is that F&F was a "false flag" operation with political motives. Isn't it odd that the DOJ has not thanked the whistle blowers for their service and courage to come forward and save lives? Thursday, January 05, 2012 11:17:46 PMNPR got nailed for its spin of Wide Receiver in the comment section.

Right....of course it was Bush that started it.
Hmmmm....didn’t the Democrats take control in 2006? Funny how this stuff always spins back to Bush’s fault...especially during the time the Dems controlled things.

This is half a click away from using the excuse that it was all Bush’s fault.

I don’t see how this has any resemblance to what Obama was doing. I see the word “could” used in the article. Looks like NPR is putting up a smoke screen to try and cover for Obama.

Even if this is true, “they did it too” is NOT a valid defense for the actions of this administration.

The papers include several communications between ATF supervisors and Justice Department prosecutors in Arizona who were trying to build a case against "a very powerful, aggressive and violent" Mexican drug cartel in an earlier operation dubbed "Wide Receiver."The Obama administration was trying to build a case against American gun merchants. Difference #1.
the papers show law enforcement officers in the Bush years could have filed criminal conspiracy and false statements charges against lower level figures in the gun trafficking operation, but they decided to watch and wait until they could move higher up the chain of command.
The Obama administration didn't watch at all. They didn't care where the guns ended up, apparently. Difference #2.
This writer may have some profession or other, but she sure ain't a journalist.

Every BAD thing Bush II did, Obama repeated IN SPADES.
BOTH are wrong and one of the reasons this doofus is sitting in the Oval is his predecessor. The other reason just endorsed Romney (John McPain).

To: WayneS
they did it too is NOT a valid defense WRONG! For a liberal this is the most valid defense in existence.

I have noticed an absolutely frantic and widespread ‘Bush did it’ effort on the part of the lefty media and their unthinking, unblinking minions since the New Year arrived.
They must realize that selling Obama is a fool’s errand so they’re going back to 2007 and beyond.

“Even if this is true, they did it too is NOT a valid defense for the actions of this administration.”
Right, but it is the only defense they have - valid or not. Of course when we try to apply their standards to our actions in the future (vis-a-vis recess appointments or anything for that matter), the gnashing of teeth will be able to be heard from outer space. I think Glen Beck played the sound of it on his show about a year or so ago.
Let’s face it... if we are unwilling to play by their rules we will always get beat by them (moral equivalence being ingrained in the public mindset and all).
