The Owls' Nest

Click here for an article by Katherine Eban in Fortune magazine -- hardly a liberal publication -- publishing the truth about Fast & Furious just before Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress (really, who isn't in contempt of Congress?). The article was six months in preparation. Apparently Fast & Furious was fabricated by right-wing bloggers out of complaints by vindictive and disgruntled ATF guys. Fox News ran it non-stop for months, prompting Darrell Issa's investigative committee to use it as a club to beat Holder and the administration. I wonder who had the shining intellect to make the leap to defining F&F as a plot by Obama to crack down on gun owners in the U.S.
