An out of control government agency stonewalls investigation

Death in the Desert: Project Gunwalker and the ATF Cover-Up

....
What follows is an excerpt of a letter from Grassley to Acting Director of the ATF Melson:

Members of the Judiciary Committee have received numerous allegations that the ATF sanctioned the sale of hundreds of assault weapons to suspected straw purchasers, who then allegedly transported these weapons throughout the southwestern border area and into Mexico. According to the allegations, one of these individuals purchased three assault rifles with cash in Glendale, Arizona on January 16, 2010. Two of the weapons were then allegedly used in a firefight on December 14, 2010 against Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents, killing CBP Agent Brian Terry.
A comment from a poster to Lucianne:
Let me get this right. The U.S. government is selling automatic weapons to the Mexican drug cartels so they can prove guns are coming from the U.S., and one of those weapons was used to mow down one of their agents here in the U.S., which they are now actively trying to conceal in the face of an inquiry from a U.S. senator, and the guy in charge of the operation was promoted?

Naw, that is just not possible.
