Arizona Republic on Fast and Furious
David Codrea blogs the Arizona Republic coverage. The Republic is the big paper up in Phoenix, and unlike the Tucson paper, has no qualms about covering the case. It's great coverage.
One mystery to me has always been the ATF supervisor who emailed agents, "If you don't think this is fun, you're in the wrong line of work -- period!" In the hearings, the supervisors conceded that they had no plans to extradite and prosecute Cartel members or leaders. So where's the fun? Supplying drug cartels with guns? That seems like a rather strange way to get your amusement. The one thing that might seem fun is, if you wanted more restrictions, the idea that a plan to inflate the tracing statistics was succeeding.

Pretty good article for the Repugnant, considering their predilection for botching stories. It was sad to see whoever wrote that buying into the "it started during George Bush's term" BS. They also continue the practice of quoting unknown "experts" who just don't get it.
