| #9 If something makes no sense, you don't know the whole story. F&F makes no sense (and I don't buy the conspiracy to gin up gun control emotions, though at least it makes some sense.) We are missing some critical data, I think. |

| #8 So far it remains to be seen what comes of the Congressional F&F investigation. |

| #7 BLUF: They can remain silent and deny all they want, but NO ONE in the US Gov't would ship that volume of small arms, clandestinely or otherwise, into a foreign country without the expressed knowledge and approval of the Country Team (US Ambassador, Chief of Station, Regional Security Officer, and LEGAT). It just ain't happening. |

| #6 And the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) is supposed to provide what kind of inter-agency coordination? The kind aimed specifically at countering terrorist attacks within the US. |

| #4 Mexico is STILL a foreign country. If United States Intelligence is making contacts or recruiting sources in a foreign country certain, well established, long standing coordinating rules and directives apply. The unltimate coordinating and approving authority for these activities rests with the Director, CIA. The authority for these activities also holds responsibility and oversight for these contacts. |

| #3 And the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) is supposed to provide what kind of inter-agency coordination? Excerpt from the JTTF Site: The benefits of JTTFs? They provide one-stop shopping for information regarding terrorist activities. They enable a shared intelligence base across many agencies. They create familiarity among investigators and managers before a crisis. And perhaps most importantly, they pool talents, skills, and knowledge from across the law enforcement and intelligence communities into a single team that responds together. |

| #2 IOW, the so-called "inter-Agency communication gap" is also very much an inter-Agency Coordination + Honesty + Trust Gap. And prolly a few others they haven't found yet, or don't want to find??? |
