#2 More tactics of mistake. Trying to adjust for previous mistakes just makes for more.

#3 Newell has since acknowledged that "frequent risk assessments would be prudent" for operations like Fast and Furious. He also said the slaying of Terry "is one I will mourn for the rest of my life."

But the promotion and new bass boat were sure swell.

#4 The KGB used to do that with outed spies, too. Recall them to Moscow, I mean, with a promise of promotons. One good note: these guys are unlikely to end up in the basement of the Lubyanka with a bullet in their skull.

#7 This will be investigated and will go on for some time."As Operation Fast and Furious was unraveling" so if this can happen anything can happen. Timing is interesting. Keep them close to home...boring.
Kinda up close and personal after a failed program.
