Just when you think you’ve heard it all involving the Obama
Administration’s disastrous Mexican gun-running experiment, new details
surface to illustrate a new level of negligence and incompetence on the
part of federal authorities orchestrating the scandalous program.
Known as Fast and Furious, the federal experiment allowed Mexican drug
traffickers to obtain U.S.-sold weapons so they could eventually be traced
to drug cartels. Instead federal law enforcement officers lost track of
more than 1,700 guns which are believed to have been used in an unknown
number of crimes.
In the past year lost guns have been linked to violence on both sides of
the border while top administration officials, including Attorney General
Eric Holder, insist they knew nothing about the reckless operation. Among
the first reports to surface; that Fast and Furious weapons were used to
murder a U.S. Border Patrol agent (Brian Terry) in Peck Canyon Arizona.
The assault weapons known as AK-47s were traced through their serial
numbers to an Arizona dealer the feds repeatedly allowed to smuggle
firearms into Mexico, according to a mainstream newspaper.
This week the same publication published a scathing article that paints a
clown-like portrait of the agency—Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF)—charged with running the program. It turns out that the
ATF stumbled upon a top drug-cartel suspect targeted by its unscrupulous
gun operation but let him go after he “pledged to cooperate and keep in
touch with investigators.”
It would almost be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic. Seven months after
launching the Fast and Furious operation, federal agents caught their main
suspect in a remote Arizona outpost on the Mexican side, according to
internal documents obtained by the newspaper. The drug lord, Manuel Fabian
Celis-Acosta, had 74 pounds of ammunition and nine cell phones hidden in
his German-made sports car.
So what did the feds do? The top Fast and Furious investigator, Special
Agent Hope MacAllister, scribbled her phone number on a $10 bill after
Celis-Acosta promised to cooperate and keep in touch with investigators.
Then Celis-Acosta disappeared into Mexico and later slipped back and forth
across the border, illegally buying more American weapons and financing
others. It’s all in the government records. You can’t make this stuff up.
Eventually Celis-Acosta got arrested, but the damage had been done and the
government gun operation had spiraled out of control. Nearly 2,000
firearms have disappeared and scores have surfaced in Mexican crime
scenes. Not surprisingly, the ATF refuses to explain why it didn’t arrest
this drug lord when it had him the first time. An ATF spokesman quoted in
this week’s story said: “Due to the fact that the criminal case is still
ongoing in the courts, and the inspector general’s office is still
investigating, we cannot comment about this.”
Judicial Watch is investigating the genesis of the Fast and Furious
operation and has sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the ATF to
obtain records. Both agencies have refused to provide even the most basic
information about the program and neither has responded by the statutorily
mandated deadline.
