 * Title: Title::5 Ways Fast & Furious Tarnishes Eric Holder's Justice Department

About
On 2012-09-21, the Heritage Foundation, an Americonservative think-tank, issued a statement regarding the on Operation Fast and Furious. Their primary findings were:


 * 1) The report singles out top Department of Justice officials for wrongdoing.
 * 2) The report appears to contradict sworn testimony by Attorney General Eric Holder.
 * 3) The report faults top Justice Department leadership with failing to adequately respond to the murder of an American border patrol agent.
 * 4) The White House refused to disclose any internal communications to the inspector general.
 * 5) The report fails to consider evidence that a top DOJ official knew the department misled Congress.

The only point on which HF argues that the report itself is negligent is item #5; HF does not appear to give any credence to the gun-control theory.
