| The incompetence of the ATF in this case and Fast and Furious is ASTOUNDING.....An investigation claims they lost 2.1 million cartons but ATF said no no no - we only lost 447 thousand - as if that makes it OK. Apparently they are allowed to do whatever they want without repercussion. It makes me wonder what else they are up to that hasn't made the news. Renegades....
"ATF lost track of 2.1 million cartons of cigarettes in sting operations, report finds"
By Sari Horwitz, Published: September 25 E-mail the writer "In another black eye for the beleaguered agency that regulates guns and investigates tobacco trafficking, a new report found that federal agents lost track of 2.1 million cartons of cigarettes and paid an informant more than $4.9 million without requiring him to account for his expenses.
“We found a significant lack of oversight and controls to ensure that cash, cigarettes, equipment and other assets used . . . were accurately tracked, properly safeguarded and protected from misuse,” Michael E. Horowitz, the Justice Department inspector general, said in a 68-page report released Wednesday."

| I know, I know, I know where they are.. They were on the bottom of a BIG grocery cart and everybody that saw it kept quiet instead of doing the right thing as they were loaded into other tractor trailors and stolen..... | |
