If I were a professional journalist, questions that would be near the top of my list regarding “Fast and Furious” and the knowledge that one straw buyer was responsible for the purchase of 700 guns, would be:
How many gun dealers in the USA sell guns to single buyers in that number?
What is the paperwork involved re the ATF/USgovt and the gun shop when a buyer seems to be setting up an army?
Are there any limits as to how many guns a purchaser may have?
Another question that oughta be asked is what OTHER weapons were transferred by Obmaa to the Mexican gangs. SAMs? Artillery? UAVs? Plastic explosives? Switchblades? What else?
And while it is obviously true that the weapons were moved to those who would use them lawlessly in the USA in order to gin up a new gun control effort, what is the OTHER reason or reasons Obama wants Mexican gangs to be fully armed? What’s going on?
If they don’t answer, well, there’s a place called Gitmo and a technique called water boarding.
A factoid in Rumsfeld’s book: no one has ever been waterboarded at Gitmo. Only some detainees under the jurisdiction of the CIA at the black sites were subjected to that. And those detainees were transferred to Gitmo in 2006.
