How can Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) himself (or anyone else, for that matter) actually believe Issa's paranoid conspiracy theory that Fast & Furious was a sneaky Obama Administration ruse designed to make it possible to pass strict gun control laws?

I'm a northern city resident, and I SUPPORT some types of gun control (restoration of the assault weapons ban, some handgun limitations, but no, I don't want to take away your rifles or shotguns!). But I know all too well that there's NO WAY this Congress is EVER going to pass gun control legislation, and that there's little likelihood that ANY Congress in my lifetime will pass gun control, no matter how many Mexicans or Americans are killed by guns. I also know that Barack Obama and Eric Holder are NOT dumber (or less capable of reading political tea-leaves) than I am. Would they -- like me -- support some kinds of gun control? Probably. Would they set up F&F to make that possible? No way in hell!

According an investigation by Fortune magazine, "fast and furious" never happened. http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2012/06/27/fast-and-furious-truth/

CBS should acknowledge the work of another reputable news organization, including the finding that the ''whisteblower'' in the case was actually the rogue perpetrator.
