FORBES brings us a nice concise version of this FAST AND FURIOUS story..
"Liberal pundits, such as Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, have been quick to dismiss the Fast and Furious investigation as a political “witch hunt,” as though the scandal were a “tempest in a teapot,” the phrase Jamie Dimon initially chose to describe the $2 billion prop trading loss at JP Morgan. But, like Jamie Dimon, they may have to eat their words"
"lthough DOJ has turned over to Congress some 7,600 documents bearing on the operation, it has been begrudging in informing the House about its internal inquiry into Fast and Furious. The House committee is looking into all aspects of the fiasco. Many questions linger. How was such an obviously wrong headed operation revived after Holder learned of the failure of Wide Receiver in 2009? Why did they go against their own policies? Who was responsible for approving Fast and Furious, and where is he employed today? How was the operation monitored, and who was responsible for the grotesque incompetence that put over 1600 lethal weapons in the hands of dangerous criminals? Did Holder and his deputies, once the flawed operation came to their attention, appropriately deal with the problem? What were their internal considerations? Did they try to cover up a colossal DOJ screw-up? Were the managers of the operation disciplined or merely transferred to avoid embarrassment for the administration in an election year?"

"Brandeis famously said that “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.” We agree. The public is entitled to answers– Fast and Furious."
