And the ATF let 2000 guns walk to Mexico

A good decade or so ago, Soldier or Fortune ran some articles on 'insider info' about the some regional ATF unit antics -- both on and OFF duty. I had always wondered why the BATF'rs seemed to egregiously violate their victims in some of those questionable busts. There were various Law School Journal articles regarding civil rights violations starting in the '70's [IIRC]. The SOF reports made a good case that their thug-like law enforcement was no accident, either in personnel selection, training or execution.

The fact that the agency STILL gets a pass, under so many different administrations remains a mystery to me.
