Great article from PBS on Fast and Furious.
Quote:
Revelations about a U.S. sting program that backfired has provoked new anger in Mexico, where lawmakers and citizens already are upset about the flow of American weapons to Mexican drug gangs.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has been criticized for "Operation Fast and Furious" in 2009, in which it let people purchase weapons it knew would end up in criminals' hands in the United States and Mexico in order to track them and build a case against them.
Two AK-47 rifles connected to the program were found at the scene of the killing of a border agent in Arizona in December. The U.S. House held hearings on the matter in June, where witnesses questioned the reasoning behind the sting since it is difficult for the United States to prosecute criminals in Mexico.
