ATF Story: "Project Gunwalker"

“Project Gunwalker”... refers to allegations by whistleblowing ATF insiders that:

* ATF management was allowing potentially hundreds of semiautomatic firearms to be walked across the Mexican border in order to pad statistics used to further budget and power objectives.

* Mexican authorities were kept in the dark, and protests that they should be informed were overridden, first by the Phoenix ATF office, and ultimately by higher-ups in Washington, DC.

* A gun used in this operation was involved in a December 2010 incident in which a Border Patrol agent was killed.
No prizes for guessing who will be behind that.
