U.S. Government Selling Guns to Mexican Drug Dealers

Guns From ATF Fast And Furious Program Recovered From 50 Crime Scenes In Mexico

Two federal officials admitted Tuesday they made “mistakes” during the controversial Operation Fast and Furious gunrunner program, but they disputed contentions by a parade of other agents that their bureau knowingly let guns “walk” into Mexico.

“It was not the purpose of the investigation to permit the transportation of firearms into Mexico,” said William Newell, former special agent in charge of the Phoenix field office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “To the best of my knowledge none of the suspects in this case was ever witnessed by our agents crossing the border with firearms.”
