#1 the AZ Republic pooh-poohs the theory that F&F was a scheme to create such havoc in Mexico with US guns that Obama could drive through new gun control laws. That is obviously the case, since they didn't track any guns past the border. Also, they never note that Bush Admin's gunwalker scheme worked WITH Mexican authorities, didn't keep them in the dark like F&F

#2 I have to admit that I skimmed the article and posted it because it looked like a long re-cap of what we know so far. It's a shame that the AZ Republic has chosen to advance the official false-equivalency narrative of the MSM palace guard - but not a shock.

#3 To his credit, Mr. Wagner tried very hard to be impartial. It's too bad he failed.

#4 Gun control has been on the Obama administration agenda although being flying under the radar. Gun control is not generally held in high esteem by most Americans other than the left. I've heard some Democrats recently trying to justify stronger gun control laws on the basis of F & F. What is really needed is to rein in a government who allowed F & F and the death of agents to occur.
