Jump now to 2011 of the approximately 2500 guns sold only a few hundred have been recovered and at least one federal agent, Brian Terry, lost his life due to this ludicrous operation. Talk about a cover-up: this operation was somehow planned and conducted without the full knowledge of the Acting ATF Director, the Justice Department, or President Obama having any knowledge of it. (By full knowledge I mean that Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson says knew about it, but was kept in the dark regarding the extent of the operation, and the involvement of other agencies like the FBI and DEA.)
rut row
Since the scheme was funded by the 2009 stimulus act, some legislator or committee had to insert the funding into the legislation.
There is your architect of this crap.
