Grenades? What's next? Nukes?

CBS news reporter Sharyl Attkisson reports about the ATF allowing grenade parts to cross the border. There were enough parts to construct 2000 grenades. CBS is a little late to the party. This was well known over a month ago.

David Codrea, National Gun Rights Examiner and columist for Guns magazine was on to this in early September.

Here was the set-up:

“[I]nvestigators focused on a delivery of inert grenade hulls which occurred in November 2009. These hulls were intercepted and marked by ATF, for the purpose of identifying whether or not the suspect was, in fact, making IEDs. In this instance, the USAO had indicated that ATF should not allow the suspect to export the items even though the USAO would not prosecute the suspect if he was caught exporting them [emphasis in original]…The USAO had made it clear that it would not prosecute the case as an export violation.”

The story was also on the blog Sipsey street irregulars. http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2011/09/grenades.html

Both of these articles appeared on September 5th. So why did CBS wait until October 14th to report the story? At least they have someone working on it. Fox has been doing some reporting on it. Where are ABC and NBC? Their silence is defening. You can bet that if this was under a Republican president that it woyuld be the lead story every night.

I have heard people campare this to Watergate. I wasn't aware that there was a large body count in Watergate. So far in the Fast & Furious scandal we have 2 federal agents and untold hundreds of Mexican citizens that have died over this administartions agenda. Where is the cry for justice?

This story from CNN gives a clue as to where these grenade components went.

At least 53 killed in Mexico grenade attack
From yesterdays CBS story we get this.

Police say Jean Baptiste Kingery, a U.S. citizen, was a veritable grenade machine. He's accused of smuggling parts for as many as 2,000 grenades into Mexico for killer drug cartels -- sometimes under the direct watch of U.S. law enforcement.

We know who was doing the smuggling and we know where they went.
