The entire partisan Republican outrage over "Fast and Furious" is already way over the top. Yes, ATF and DOJ screwed up, but to argue they are criminals who willingly broke the law is ridiculous.

Drug enforcement agents routinely engage in drug trades to nab Drug traffickers, either as "Buyers" offering to buy drugs or as "Sellers" offering to sell drugs, in the latter case, they actually bring drugs to the deal. Technically, both these actions could be considered Drug Trafficking under Federal Laws. Will Republicans now argue that all these types of stings should be stopped?

"Fast&Furious": good idea+bad implementation=heads will roll, but criminal prosecution? give me a break.
