‘Fast and Furious' Report a Reminder of Deliberately Unresolved Accountability
|
 [Ammoland.com] "Fast and Furious victims speak out for first time in decade, demand justice," One America News Network reported Monday. "A lingering scandal from the Obama-era has resurfaced regarding the sale of guns to Mexican cartels."
Getting the word out and keeping this story alive is essential. With few exceptions, the major media didn’t want to touch it when it was breaking, with most either ignoring it or spinning it in such a way to minimize its significance, protect favored politicians and use it to further advance the narrative that it was ultimately the fault of "lax American gun laws."
That said, as one of the investigative writers uncovering evidence and reporting on "gunwalking" before that media had written a word, I do have some critiques in the interest of accuracy and perspective. Those of us who believe there are still many facts yet to be uncovered and people to hold accountable have a special obligation to get it right. That’s because getting it wrong allows those who want the story to go away to dismiss it as partisan politics, or worse, as "conspiracy theory," with all that implies.
My first bone to pick is the claim that this is the first time the subjects have spoken out in more than a decade. AmmoLand Shooting Sports News readers have been presented with dozens of stories featuring Kent Terry, brother of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. This is the site that reported on then-candidate Donald Trump promising he would get to the bottom of things, and readers here have received numerous updates on the Freedom of Information Act request and lawsuit necessitated by continued government stonewalling and evasiveness in which Terry and I are plaintiffs.
