Waco, Ruby Ridge, Gunrunner, Ad Infinitum

Scot L. Thomasson, the ATF's public affairs chief in Washington, said the Fast and Furious strategy is still under evaluation.

"It's always a good business practice to review any new strategy six or eight months after you've initiated it, to make sure it's working, that it's having the desired effect, and then make adjustments as you see fit to ensure it's successful," he said.
==================================================

When were they going to re-evaluate? When half the population of Mexico was dead? This ranks right up there with Janet Reno's comparison of the military Combat Engineer Vehicles and Bradley Fighting Vehicles at Waco to "good rental cars."

Janet the First's "good rental cars."

You know you're in trouble when a government bureaucrat starts lecturing you on "good business practices." It is like a prostitute lecturing you on chastity, or a serial killer on the sanctity of life. Neither knows anything of what they are preaching.

So, "Gunwalker Bill,"

I'm guessing that the Mexico gig is pretty much out at this point.

Now is probably just about your last chance to throw your superiors under the bus that they are surely going to try to throw you under. It is just a question of who throws first, who rolls first. If you are ready to roll, I can introduce you to Senator Grassley's people. Wouldn't count on immunity though. On the other hand, it probably would keep you out of prison, you being the first to emerge from the stonewall cave with your hands in the air.

Think it over.

Sincerely, and with best wishes,

Remember. You've crossed the line. You're not a cop anymore. You're a criminal. Time to start thinking like one and get the best deal you can.
